All eyes will be on which first team he chooses – and especially if Kai Havertz and Timo Werner get starts.
The German has been charged with the responsibility of reversing the form of the expensive duo – after Frank Lampard’s failure to make the most of the summer signings contributed to his sacking on Monday.
Werner’s last big act under the former manager was missing a late penalty against Luton.

Likewise, Germany international Antonio Rudiger – although he came back in favor before Lampard left.
