Despite Valencia’s current struggles in the domestic league, Elliott remains optimistic about what the team can achieve during his stay at the Mestalla. The club currently finds itself in 16th place in La Liga, having failed to secure a win in their opening three fixtures of the campaign. They suffered a 3-1 defeat at the hands of Deportivo recently, which followed a goalless draw with Celta Vigo and a narrow 1-0 loss to Real Betis.
Elliott is not shying away from the high expectations placed on him by the Spanish giants. He told the gathered media: “I hope to lead Valencia to European football. As I’ve said, it’s an incredible club and I want to do everything I can for it. I believe that, especially with the team we have, we are capable of achieving it. It’s going to be a difficult season, but I’m very confident.”
