Mauricio Pochettino has told Chelsea fans that he wants to win in style at Stamford Bridge.

The 51-year-old gave his first official interview as Chelsea manager on Monday.

In it, he acknowledged that "the history of Chelsea is to win", while stressing that he wants his team to play attractive football to achieve their goals.

Speaking to ChelseaFC.com, Pochettino said: "For me, it is a pleasure and honor to now be involved with Chelsea Football Club.

"We are so excited, and I know Chelsea very well, it is one of the greatest clubs in the world. So of course, it was easy for us to make the decision to move here.

"We are so happy that today we can start here at Cobham in the training ground and meet the people and the staff. It is exciting for us and what we want is to bring the happiness again to this great football club.

"We will work hard, play in a way the fans can enjoy football, and the history of Chelsea is to win - but it is important also in the way we are going to build those victories."

Chelsea were not great to watch last season.

The Blues scored just 38 goals in 38 Premier League games.

Only Wolves (31), Everton (34), Southampton (36) and Bournemouth (37) scored fewer goals in the 2022/23 EPL.
