The team finished sixth in the Premier League last season. This is still not enough and clearly did not align with the ambitions of the club, which ultimately led to Pochettino being fired after his first year. His successor, Maresca, has not fully justified the trust placed in him so far, although overall he can be satisfied with the start.
The Conference League, however, is clearly not a priority for the English side, even though the team is still competing. They didn’t even register Palmer for the competition. Overall, their plan seems to be to progress in the cups while giving game time to reserves. So far, the results have been decent: they first defeated Gent 4-2, then smashed Panathinaikos 4-1 away, with Mudrik contributing a goal and a couple of assists.
The club is still young, even by the standards of the Caucasus region, having been founded only in 2017. However, after just three seasons, they achieved maximum results: second place, as well as winning the Cup and Supercup. They have not been able to repeat that success, but at least they secured the vice-champion title for the first time in recent cycles.
The team started its season in mid-summer, and in qualifying, they managed to eliminate opponents such as Shkendija, Sliema Wanderers, AEK, and Ruzomberok, although often with some effort. In the group stage, they won at home against Mlada Boleslav, before narrowly losing to Rapid Vienna.
