Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino has expressed confidence in the long-term project at the club, indicating that the efforts being put in place are expected to yield significant results. Pochettino acknowledged the challenges faced since taking over at Stamford Bridge but remains optimistic about the team’s prospects, particularly with regards to securing a spot in the UEFA Champions League.
Building Towards Champions League Qualification
Pochettino conveyed that the goal is to have Chelsea compete among the top four teams, which would enable them to participate in the prestigious UEFA Champions League. While he admits that this objective may not be achieved immediately, he is hopeful that the fruits of their labour will be evident in the near future.
The manager suggested that the timeline for Chelsea’s return to the top tier of European football could range from six months to a year, but he did not commit to a specific timeframe. Pochettino’s comments reflect a realistic yet positive outlook on the development of the team under his guidance.
According to Pochettino, the Chelsea project is a work in progress, and he is focused on steering the club back to its competitive best. The former Tottenham Hotspur manager is under contract with Chelsea and is tasked with rebuilding the squad to challenge for top honours both domestically and in Europe.
