Chelsea defender Levi Colwill has made it clear that he is already a massive fan of manager Mauricio Pochettino.
He told the official club website that he believes he is a world-class example of a manager.
Colwill made his debut for the club on Sunday in their Premier League opener against Liverpool.
He certainly endured a rough start to the game, with him being brought out wide to defend Mohamed Salah.
Despite his early struggles, he grew into the game and eventually forced the Egypt international to be replaced in the second half.
The role brought plenty of responsibility for someone making their debut for the club. However, it is only a sign of the faith that Pochettino has in him.
Levi Colwill praises Mauricio Pochettino
It was always claimed that it was going to depend about the promises the manager would give the player about his future.
After he put pen to paper on a new long-term contact to stay at Stamford Bridge, it seems as if he has been given those assurances.
Now, he has claimed he has been left very impressed by the Argentine since he arrived.
He said: “Mauricio Pochettino is a world-class manager. I don’t think I could ask for anyone better. He is such a good man manager, having normal conversations with me and making me feel like a person, not just a player. He’s been amazing and such a good guy.”
It will surely be a number of games in a row as a starter for Colwill, with Benoit Badiashile still missing from the squad due to injury.
However, they will be hopefully set for a seriously strong set of options for the left of defence, although of course there is still a chance that both are selected to start when fit.
