Chelsea's co-owner, Behdad Eghbali, has expressed the club's intention to sign more established players and reflected on the departure of former head coach Enzo Maresca, stating it was an unwanted change. Eghbali, co-founder of Clearlake Capital, the majority shareholder in Chelsea's ownership group, discussed various topics, including the club's current head coach, Liam Rosenior. With Chelsea at risk of missing out on next season's Champions League, Eghbali emphasized the need for stability, particularly in the manager position, which the club has struggled to achieve.
He expressed his backing for Rosenior, citing his attributes and potential for long-term success. Eghbali also addressed the club's transfer policy, indicating a shift towards signing more experienced players to complement the existing squad and achieve sustainable success. The co-owner acknowledged the club's commitment to delivering on-pitch performance and winning trophies, in line with the expectations of Chelsea's fans and the club's history under former owner Roman Abramovich.
