Chelsea’s head coach Enzo Maresca has directly addressed questions on a possible top four finish for The Blues in the 2024/2025 season.
Chelsea’s head coach Enzo Maresca in his pre-match press conference has responded to questions about the rumoured target of finishing in top four of the Premier League set by the club owners.
Enzo clarified that he never made such a statement and he was not under any sort of pressure to deliver on such a target.
“I didn’t say our target was top four – the club never said that. The target was in two years to play Champions League, not in one year,” he said at the press conference.
He also stated, “We will see how we finish [if it’s a failure if they finish outside the top four]. Since day one, I’ve always said the same. I don’t think what we have done can be no good because what we have done is there. I think, unfortunately we are out of both domestic cups. Our journey in the Premier League has been fantastic until today and in the Conference League.”
He added, “We will try and finish in the best way we can. Don’t forget in the last two years Chelsea have never been in the top four and we have spent this season in the top four. We will try our best to finish where this club needs to be.”
