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. Eghbali emphasized that the club's policy is to avoid in-season changes to the head coach position, instead opting for summer reviews. He acknowledged that Maresca's sudden departure had a negative impact on the season, but expressed confidence in current head coach Liam Rosenior.
Eghbali stated that the club is committed to achieving stability, particularly with regards to the manager position, which has been a challenge so far. He believes Rosenior has the necessary attributes to be successful and expressed support for him. The club's transfer policy is also being re-evaluated, with a focus on signing more experienced players to complement the existing youth-oriented approach. Eghbali emphasized the importance of winning and delivering trophies, citing the club's history of success under former owner Roman Abramovich.
He acknowledged the disappointment of recent results but assured fans that the ownership group is committed to improving and delivering on-pitch success.
