Rita Guarino isn't making wild promises. The West Ham United head coach is keeping her feet firmly on the ground as the new Barclays Women's Super League campaign approaches - and honestly, after a 10th-place finish last season, that's probably wise.
Guarino's mantra? Process, process, process. The Italian boss wants steady progress rather than overnight miracles, aiming to build on the foundations laid during a tricky 2025-26 season.
Summer recruitment has clearly pleased the gaffer. Guarino has spoken positively about how new arrivals are gelling with the existing squad, pointing to encouraging chemistry between newcomers and the established guard.
Getting that blend right early can make or break a season - and by all accounts, the vibes in pre-season have been good, as WSL Full-Time reports.
West Ham's opening fixture pits them against Tottenham Hotspur - hardly a gentle start. Guarino has acknowledged as much, describing Spurs as a side with clear identity, ambition and competitive edge.
Still, if the Hammers' pre-season integration work has paid off, there's no reason they can't cause problems from the off. One thing's certain: Guarino won't be getting carried away either way.
