Welcome into the latest edition of ESPN FC. I'm Dan Thomas joined by Shaka Hissler. We'll

0:07.7

start today's show with the news that broke today. It shot the world of football. Nobody

0:13.0

saw it coming. There was no indication this was going to happen. Mauricio Poccio Tino

0:18.1

is the new coach at Chelsea. Goodness me. It's dragged on and on as never in the end. The

0:24.6

deal was done just a reminder. This is a man who cited his career in La Liga coaching
