Inside Narcis Pelach’s Bold Vision for Stoke City: His Key Demands and Heartfelt Thanks as New Era Begins
Narcis Pelach is feeling a strong sense of connection with his Stoke City squad, who have fully embraced his vision since he took over as head coach in September. Under his guidance, Stoke has made notable progress, moving to a mid-table position in the Championship with three wins and four draws in their last eight games. This run has built growing confidence around the club, and Pelach is determined to keep building momentum.
“The most important thing for me is the belief and love of the players because they are the ones you send out on the pitch,” he shared. “With that, other things will come.” Pelach’s vision is for Stoke to be a resilient, versatile team—one that may not stand out in any particular area but is capable, confident, and strong in each phase of the game. He wants Stoke to be a tough opponent, emphasizing, “We’ve lost one of the last eight, so that tells you we are getting there, step by step.”
