MAURICIO POCHETTINO is making Bruno Saltor one of his trusted team as Chelsea embark on a new era.
Spaniard Saltor was part of the backroom staff who joined alongside now-sacked head coach Graham Potter last September.
He was also controversially catapulted into the hot seat for one match when Potter was sacked in April – picking the team for one game only against Liverpool.
Inexperienced Saltor filled in until Frank Lampard was named interim boss for the rest of the season. The game was a goalless draw.
Chelsea fans have now spotted the the former Brighton & Hove Albion defender has remained at the club.
Saltor appeared in a training clip shared to the club’s Instagram captioned: “Back in the building.”
