Chelsea Co-Owner Discusses Transfers, Coaching Changes, and Club Stability

Chelsea co-owner Behdad Eghbali has expressed the club's intention to sign established players and acknowledged that the departure of former head coach Enzo Maresca was an unwelcome change. In a rare interview, Eghbali discussed various topics, including the club's current head coach Liam Rosenior and the team's struggles to qualify for the Champions League. Chelsea is currently four points behind fifth-placed Liverpool, having won only one of their last seven league games. Eghbali emphasized the importance of stability, particularly with regards to the manager position, which the club has yet to achieve. He expressed his confidence in Rosenior's ability to deliver success, citing his attributes and the great start he had as head coach. Eghbali also addressed the club's transfer policy, indicating a shift towards signing more experienced players to complement the existing youth-oriented approach. He stressed the need for 8-15 elite players to achieve sustainable success and acknowledged that the club must improve in certain areas to take their project to the next level. Eghbali reassured fans that the ownership group is committed to delivering on-pitch success and winning trophies, which is essential for a club like Chelsea.
