New Chelsea manager Sonia Bompastor held her inaugural press conference with her new club at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday. Bompastor addressed the press ahead of Chelsea’s USA trip this coming weekend, as her new era as head coach begins with meetings against NJ/NY Gotham, and Barclays Women’s Super League foes Arsenal.

Though well decorated herself, Bompastor has giant shoes to fill when it comes to her new job in West London. Emma Hayes has been the juggernaut of the Barclays Women’s Super League in previous years, having collected 14 trophies during her Chelsea tenure.

Despite the mountainous challenge ahead of her, Bompastor made her intentions crystal clear: “I already told everyone that we are here to win every single title, every single game, so this is why I came.”

Packing on the praise for Emma Hayes, Bompastor expressed “I just feel a lucky manager to have this opportunity to build from Emma and have this opportunity to show who I am as a manager but also as a person.”

Chelsea chase down one final trophy, as they will once again compete for the title of the UEFA Women’s Champions League. Bompastor is no stranger to European success, having taken home the prize as head coach of Lyon in 2019.

“When I had the meeting with the sporting directors I said this is something really special to win the Champions League. I think we have all the quality at this club to have this trophy at home.”

The side will look forward to more games at the main stadium, as the Blues prepare to host Manchester City at Stamford Bridge on the weekend of the 15-17th of November.

Speaking on playing at The Bridge, Bompastor expressed “I can’t wait to be at that point because the atmosphere in this stadium is so special. It’s one of the most famous in Europe with all the history.” said Bompastor.

“I had the chance to play the Champions League final here as a player but I didn’t have a great experience here as a manager, though I could feel the atmosphere.

Now, as Chelsea manager, to have the fans with us is really special. You always want to enjoy it with them. Football is something we are all passionate about.”
