Mauricio Pochettino has described himself as \u201cdesperate\u201d to win his first trophy in English football after guiding Chelsea to this season\u2019s Carabao Cup final.<\/strong><\/p>\n
The Blues, who have struggled with performances and results throughout the campaign so far, put down arguably their best display yet under the Argentine with a\u00a0clinical 6-1 win over Middlesbrough. Crucially, it overturned a 1-0 defeat at the hands of the Championship side from the first leg.<\/p>\n
Chelsea\u00a0will now face either Liverpool or Fulham \u2013 the Reds hold a 2-1 aggregate lead going into the second leg of their semi on Wednesday night \u2013 in the final at Wembley next month.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am desperate to win a title here,\u201d Pochettino said, referencing having never previously been able to get his hands on a trophy with former club\u00a0Tottenham Hotspur.<\/p>\n
\u201c[My staff] won, in one year and a half in Paris, three trophies. We want to win here, of course.\u201d<\/p>\n
When Pochettino was appointed Spurs boss in 2014 after establishing himself as a top Premier League manager with Southampton, the club had not won a trophy in just over six years.<\/p>\n
He was close on several occasions to ending that drought, finishing second in the Premier League \u2013 ironically behind Chelsea \u2013 in 2016\/17, making back-to-back FA Cup semi-finals, and going to the 2019 Champions League final. Each time, Spurs fell short of silverware and are still waiting.<\/p>\n

Upon joining Paris Saint-Germain midway through 2020\/21, Pochettino went on to win the Trophee des Champions \u2013 effectively France\u2019s domestic super cup, the Coupe de France, and Ligue 1.<\/p>\n
Chelsea, having been used to consistent success throughout the last 20 years, haven\u2019t won a trophy since a 2021 treble of the Champions League, UEFA Super Cup and FIFA Club World Cup. Their last domestic silverware was surprisingly as far back as 2018 when Antonio Conte\u2019s Blues narrowly beat Jose Mourinho\u2019s Manchester United in the\u00a0FA Cup\u00a0final at Wembley.<\/p>\n
Chelsea have since lost consecutive FA Cup finals in 2020, 2021 and 2022, as well as the 2019 and 2022\u00a0Carabao Cup\u00a0finals. Five and a half seasons without a domestic trophy is their longest such drought since a 27-year wait between FA Cup successes in 1970 and 1997.<\/p>\n
