Manchester City chief executive Ferran Soriano has outlined the club’s ambition stating they want to win at least five trophies in the next five years.
The Sky Blues failed to claim any silverware in the 2012-13 campaign, finishing runners-up in the league, runners-up in the FA Cup and bowing out at the group stage of the UEFA Champions League. The failure to win a trophy led to manager Roberto Mancini’s sacking.
And Soriano outlined the club’s ambition for the next half a decade, stating he believes they will be much stronger next season.
“I think that next season is going to be much better, I am convinced about that,” Soriano told The Mirror.
“It doesn’t mean we’re going to win one or two titles. But, in the grand scheme of things, if we look at the next five years and I could plan now, I would say I want to win five trophies in the next five years.
“That may mean we win no trophies one year and two in another but, on average, I want one trophy or title a year.
“That’s the Champions League, the Premier League or the FA Cup. I think it’s a realistic aim, yes. But I’m talking about five years.
“If next year we don’t win, but progress our football and get to the semi-finals of the Champions League, finish second in the Premier League and lose the FA Cup Final again, that will be fine.
“That’s because we will have progressed in the way our football develops.”
