Mauricio Pochettino, the new manager of Chelsea, said on Friday during the west London club’s press conference that he is certain the team will only become better as he implements his ideas and hopes to see results immediately.

Chelsea hired Pochettino at the end of May following a turbulent season in which Thomas Tuchel, Graham Potter, and Frank Lampard served as interim managers and the team finished 12th in the Premier League.

The 51-year-old Pochettino began working on 1 July and will try to turn around Chelsea’s fortunes after their lowest finish since 1994. He signed a two-year contract with an additional year’s option.

“My target is to win, my aim is to win,” the former Tottenham Hotspur and Paris St Germain coach told reporters at Stamford Bridge.

“Football is about today, yesterday. You cannot talk too much long term. We cannot tell people we need six months to create because it seems not good. We need to create the belief from the beginning.

“I think we are going to have a squad that can deliver in the short term and give what we expect and from day one we need to think to win. Then if we don’t win, maybe if little by little we need more time to develop our idea, maybe it is possible.

“(But) from the beginning we need to think of the first game of the Premier League, we need to beat Liverpool.“

Despite his optimism, Pochettino is aware that they still have a lot of preparation to do before they take on Jurgen Klopp’s team on August 13.

“For me, it is clear, it is most important to finish the squad, to have a very balanced squad.

“The plan was to reduce the number of players. That for me was the most important, to find the right profiles, the players we are going to add.

“One of the challenges is that people trust my judgement … That is the biggest power you can have.”
