Behdad Eghbali, co-owner of Chelsea, has expressed the club's intention to sign established players and acknowledged that the departure of former head coach Enzo Maresca was not a planned change. In a recent interview, Eghbali discussed various topics, including the club's current performance under head coach Liam Rosenior. Chelsea is at risk of missing out on next season's Champions League, 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 support for Rosenior, stating that the club believes he has the necessary attributes to be successful. Eghbali also addressed the club's transfer policy, indicating a shift towards signing more experienced players to complement the existing youth-oriented approach. The goal is to build a squad with 10-15 elite players to achieve consistent success.
Eghbali assured fans that the ownership group is committed to delivering on-pitch performance and winning trophies, which is essential for a club like Chelsea.
