Chelsea supporters are being advised by manager Mauricio Pochettino to refrain from judging him based on “winning titles” as the Blues aim to win their first domestic trophy in six years when they meet Liverpool for the EFL Cup final on Sunday.
Chelsea has won four foreign titles since their last domestic trophy, the FA Cup in 2018.
After stints at Southampton and Tottenham, Pochettino, who took over at Stamford Bridge last summer, has the opportunity to secure his first trophy in England.
“For me, that is not the way to judge a coaching staff,” said the Argentine.
“It’s about being competitive and winning, but there are too many factors that influence.
“I think [victory on Sunday] is not going to increase my popularity or the way the fans are going to see us.”
