Chelsea Co-Owner Discusses Transfers and Backs Rosenior Amidst Recent Struggles
Chelsea co-owner Behdad Eghbali has expressed the club's intention to shift its transfer policy towards signing established players, while also addressing the sudden departure of former head coach Enzo Maresca. Eghbali stated that Maresca's exit was 'not a change we wanted to make,' acknowledging its negative impact on the season. Despite the challenges, Eghbali has voiced his support for current head coach Liam Rosenior, saying 'we're behind Liam' and believing he has the necessary attributes to achieve long-term success. The co-owner also discussed the club's youth-oriented transfer approach, emphasizing the need to balance it with more experienced signings to reach the next level.
