Chelsea are firmly in the middle of a squad overhaul - and Sonia Bompastor isn't pretending otherwise. The head coach has openly acknowledged that piecing the club back together after two years of upheaval is going to take patience, as Sky Sports reports.
Last term was a rude awakening. Chelsea managed only the League Cup and limped to third in the WSL - their first season without the league title in six years. Not exactly the stuff of dynasty maintenance. Bompastor wants lessons learned, not excuses made.
The summer departures have been painful. Former captain Millie Bright and prolific striker Sam Kerr have both moved on, leaving gaping holes in experience and culture. Replacing that sort of influence? Easier said than done.
Chelsea's recruitment blends seasoned quality with raw talent. Katie McCabe arrives to inject leadership, while 18-year-old Nelly Las brings the sort of youthful fearlessness every rebuilding squad needs. It's a deliberate mix.
The Champions League remains the trophy Bompastor covets most. She's under no illusions about the rising standard across the continent but believes this squad can compete for the title that has long eluded Chelsea.
Coaching Chelsea means living under a microscope, and Bompastor seems to relish it. She views the scrutiny as proof the club matters - and plans to channel it into a relentless work ethic ahead of the new campaign.
