Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel admits he's taken the job not overly pleased with his contract.
Tuchel admits he must getting Chelsea back to winning ways immediately.
He said: "She told me very clearly that if you sign for Chelsea, you need to win trophies, definitely compete for trophies.
"We can just admit it — on this level nobody steps into any competition to be second. Nobody.
"There were even managers who won titles and got sacked. One is sitting right now in front of you. It happened to me around Christmas.
"It's like this in the end. What everyone is looking for is a nice guy, a hard guy, a trophy-winning guy . . . I don't know . . . a good looking guy, a funny guy. That does not exist.
"At some point I hope I am the guy who can be the characteristics for an era and for a certain period in this club."
But Chelsea do not really do eras and it is telling that Tuchel has been given only an 18-month contract.
He admitted: "I want to be very honest with you. At first, it was a concern, a little bit like, 'Oh, why 18 months?'.
"And after one minute, I thought, 'What does it change? If they are not happy with me, they will sack me anyway'.
"But it's also my character to believe more in the chances than in the risks. For me personally, there's absolutely nothing to be afraid of."
