Chelsea manager, Mauricio Pochettino has come out to suggest that a fresh approach will be taken with the next transfer window. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, even if Chelsea can continue to focus on signing only young players, it will not be bad if the focus shifts to having more experienced players around to help the younger ones.
Poch added that he expects to remain at the club next season even without qualifying for any European football next season.
His words, “We can keep going in the same way with the policy [to sign young players].
But in the squad, we have Thiago Silva, Raheem Sterling and Marcus Bettinelli. Maybe Marcus isn’t playing but he does a fantastic job helping the young guys.
We have experienced players in the squad. It is not going against the project to have some players who are helping the young guys to perform, to be professional, and to understand what it means to be in the Premier League and to be at Chelsea.
We need to talk and decide the strategy for next season.”
On his future, “Will I stay without European football? Of course, because when I arrived here, we already knew that we were not going to compete in Europe. And I said yes to the project and the idea to come here and to build, you know, a squad to be competitive and to try to reach this level. So yes, that is no problem for me.”
WOW.
Chelsea Football Club is an English professional football club based in Fulham, West London. Founded in 1905, they play their home games at Stamford Bridge.
The club competes in the Premier League, the top division of English football. They won their first major honour, the League championship, in 1955. The club won the FA Cup for the first time in 1970, their first European honour, the Cup Winners’ Cup, in 1971, and became the third English club to win the Club World Cup in 2022.
On 7 May 2022, Chelsea confirmed that terms have been agreed for a new ownership group, led by Todd Boehly, Clearlake Capital, Mark Walter and Hansjörg Wyss, to acquire the club. The group was later known as BlueCo.
The UK government approved the £4.25bn takeover, ending Abramovich’s 19-year ownership of the club. Bruce Buck, who served as chairman since 2003, was replaced by Boehly, while long-serving club director and de facto sporting director Marina Granovskaia left, as did Petr Čech from the role of technical and performance advisor.
