Bompastor 'really likes' pressure of succeeding Hayes

New Chelsea manager Sonia Bompastor says she "really likes the pressure" of succeeding Emma Hayes and "wants to build from her legacy".

Hayes left the Blues at the end of the season to take charge of the United States, after winning her fifth successive Women's Super League title and her seventh overall.

Former Lyon boss Bompastor, 44, has won a string of domestic and European honours and says she wants to continue Chelsea's success.

Speaking in her first news conference since taking the reins, Bompastor said: "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."

Hayes won 14 major honours during her 12 years in charge of Chelsea.

The Frenchwoman said she hopes to take Chelsea one step further and guide the club to their first Champions League title.

"I already told everyone that we are here to win every single title, every single game, so this is why I came," she said.
