Chelsea Co-Owner Discusses Transfer Plans, Backs Head Coach Liam Rosenior Amid Uncertainty

Chelsea co-owner Behdad Eghbali has expressed the club's intention to shift its transfer strategy towards signing established players, while also addressing the departure of former head coach Enzo Maresca as an unwanted change. Eghbali emphasized that the club's policy is to avoid making head coach changes during the season, but acknowledged that Maresca's sudden exit has had a negative impact. Despite the current struggles, with Chelsea at risk of missing out on next season's Champions League, Eghbali has backed head coach Liam Rosenior to deliver success, citing his attributes and the club's confidence in him. Eghbali also discussed the club's youth-oriented transfer policy, stating that the goal is to recruit and build elite players who can provide stability to the squad. He acknowledged that the club needs to add more experienced players to take the project to the next level and achieve consistent success. Furthermore, Eghbali insisted that the ownership group, BlueCo, is committed to improving their strategy and delivering trophies, in line with Chelsea's approach under former owner Roman Abramovich.
