CHELSEA boss Thomas Tuchel warns that he has no intention of hanging about for trophies because he expects to win something this season.
The impatient German is back in Seville for Tuesday night's Champions League quarter-final with a 2-0 advantage from the first leg against Porto.

And he has no problems with owner Roman Abramovich demanding instant success despite only being in the job for 11 weeks.
He says: “Chelsea is a club that provides any coach with the culture, the mentality, the quality and the history to win titles.
“That is what I demand of myself and I was very clear about my intentions when I arrived here.
“I have nothing to hide about that so why should I now say anything different?
“We are not here to win trophies in five years or three years or two years. Now is the time.
“We cannot win the Premier League but we are in the second leg of a Champions League quarter-final and then we are in the semi-finals of the FA Cup against Manchester City.
“The goal is to win both of these games and after that to win the finals but we should not get lost in dreams and hopes and speeches.
“We are here to focus on reality and hopefully after we have played Porto we can talk about who we will play in the Champions League semi-final.

“We cannot win any trophies this week but we are well aware that these are matches where we can take decisive steps.”
After firing four past Crystal Palace and keeping a clean sheet against Porto, Tuchel has some tough decisions to make, particularly in the attacking positions.
Kai Havertz was excellent as a false No9 at Selhurt Park, opening the scoring and creating for Christian Pulisic, who scored twice.
The pair, alongside playmaker Mason Mount, will expect to keep their place for the European clash.
That would mean benching Timo Werner again, despite the German being preferred to Pulisic in Spain last week.
But the American's double, Havertz's performance and Mount's consistency means they are all primed to play.
Although should Tuchel sense some tired legs, Werner is available to start on either flank, or through the middle.
Olivier Giroud and Tammy Abraham have both made the bench in the last two matches and compete for a place up front.
Winger Hakim Ziyech is also an option on the right, highlighting Tuchel's strength in depth.
