Chelsea Co-Owner Discusses Rosenior, Maresca, and Transfer Strategy
Chelsea co-owner Behdad Eghbali has expressed the club's intention to shift its transfer policy towards signing established players, while also addressing the departure of former head coach Enzo Maresca and voicing support for current head coach Liam Rosenior. Eghbali acknowledged that Maresca's sudden exit on New Year's Day was unforeseen and has had a negative impact on the season, but emphasized the need for stability and consistency in the team's management. With six Premier League matches and an FA Cup semi-final remaining, Eghbali believes the current season's narrative is still unwritten and that the team has a lot to fight for. He has pledged to learn from past mistakes and improve the club's strategy to deliver success and win trophies consistently, in line with Chelsea's legacy under former owner Roman Abramovich. Eghbali also touched upon the club's youth-oriented transfer approach, stating that the goal is to build a squad with elite players who can achieve sustainable success over time.
