Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino expressed his eagerness to secure silverware in England after his team advanced to the League Cup final with a commanding 6-1 victory over Middlesbrough in the second leg of their semifinal at Stamford Bridge.
Despite losing the first leg 1-0, Chelsea's dominant performance sets them up for a final clash with either Fulham or Liverpool at Wembley next month. Pochettino, the 51-year-old Argentine, who previously managed Tottenham Hotspur, Southampton, and Espanyol, is determined to add domestic success to his coaching achievements.
Having clinched Ligue 1 with Paris St Germain in the 2021-22 season and securing the French Cup and Trophee des Champions, Pochettino emphasized his desperation to win a title in England.
While he experienced near-success with Tottenham, finishing as runners-up in the League Cup (2014-15) and the Champions League (2018-19), he sees the League Cup final as a crucial opportunity to fulfill his aspirations with Chelsea.
Reflecting on the journey, Pochettino acknowledged the remarkable achievement of building a team from almost scratch, with the objective being realized, but now, the focus shifts to winning the final.
Currently sitting ninth in the league after 21 matches, Chelsea's attention turns to the FA Cup as they prepare to host Aston Villa in the fourth round on Friday. Pochettino's determination to secure silverware for Chelsea underscores the team's commitment to success on multiple fronts this season.
