Chelsea had a poor start in 2023 24 seasons, with a 2-0 defeat by Everton, leaving the club in 12th position with 19 points after 16 matches. The Blues finished sixth in the Premier League, although they missed out on Champions League qualification. Chelsea was runners-up in the Carabao Cup and seme-finalist in the FA Cup, but why did Pochettino fail?
Several candidates have been linked with the Chelsea job, including former managers. However, there are no official announcements to recruit. what will be Chelsea's future? and who will be the next manager? I will tell you in this video, so stay till the end.
Chelsea's 23-24 Premier League season was a struggle on multiple fronts. Here are the points why Pochettino failed.
Sacking culture
Chelsea Football Club has sacked a total of 17 coaches from 2003 to the present. With the arrival of a new manager, there was a shift in playing style, tactics, and New Philosophy. The squad used a different approach, and took time to adapt, leading to early inconsistencies, this thing happened to Pochettino. It can create a sense of uncertainty and hinder long-term planning. In the previous season, they were in twelfth position, but this season they were in sixth position, which is good.
Investment in youth player
The club spent a lot of money on young players. Although they are talented, but it is hard to fit them in with other players. The team didn't have the experience and unity needed to always play at their best. However, not all the players are inexperienced, there are many experienced players like Moises Caikedo, Nkunku, Jackson, and Cole Palmer. I made a video about Palmer and why he left the city; if you're interested, go watch it. Also, many experienced players have left the club.
Underperformance on the Pitch
Chelsea's attack struggled all season. Struggles in Front of the Goal, due to a lack of creativity, and an experienced player. particularly experienced players have departed from the club, important players like Pulisic, Kantee, Lukaku, mount, Havertz, and many more. Pochettino has spent more than €471 million on the transfer. Most of the new players were injured accept 2 or 3 players.
Injury Woes:
Pochettino has had a difficult start at Chelsea. Many key players missed games due to injuries, you can see here how many players were injured, and how many matches they missed. this hampered Pochettino's ability to implement his tactics and find a rhythm.
So what will be Chelsea's future?
After winning all five remaining Premier League, the club has announced the end of Pochettino's 12-month region. The expectations for Chelsea's next manager are centered around the need for stability, tactical flexibility, and the ability to improve the current squad. The club's history of frequent managerial changes has led to a culture of impatience, with fans and the board often seeking immediate results rather than allowing a manager to develop a team over time.
Mauricio Pochettino is the third permanent manager to leave Chelsea under the Todd Boehly ownership, Boehly has expressed a preference for a young manager with an exciting playing style, which could favor candidates. they have begun the process of conducting formal interviews with the candidates. here is the club’s shortlist of some of the managers.
Kieran McKenna
the current manager of Ipswich Town is a top contender to succeed Mauricio Pochettino as the next manager of Chelsea. McKenna has been linked to the position due to his impressive achievements at Ipswich, including leading the team to back-to-back promotions to the Premier League, and his coaching experience at Manchester United.
Chelsea's search for a new manager is ongoing, with the club expected to make an appointment by the end of next week. McKenna is considered a strong candidate alongside other managers.
Thomas franks
Thomas Frank, the current manager of Brentford, is among the top contenders to succeed Mauricio Pochettino as the next manager of Chelsea, rank has been linked to the position due to his impressive achievements at Brentford, including leading the team to the Premier League and solidifying their place in England's top-flight. He has also been praised for his tactical flexibility and ability to develop young players, Frank has been part of the BBC's coverage of the European Championships, providing viewers with first-person knowledge of the squads he has managed.
Enzo Maresca
Chelsea hopes to appoint Enzo Maresca as their new manager, He has achieved his primary goal of securing promotion to the Premier League with Leicester, which was a non-negotiable target for him. But Maserca is hesitant to leave Leicester City, he has developed a strong bond with the players and the fans, which could make it difficult for him to leave.
Ruben Amorim
Ruben Amorim is a leading candidate to become the next manager of Chelsea, Amorim the current head coach of Sporting Lisbon, achieved significant success by guiding the team to the top of the Liga Portugal. The team displays a strong attacking style that has seen them score more goals per game than any other team in Europe's big five divisions.
This was the shortlisted upcoming manager for Chelsea but there are also some of contenders who can be the next manager in my point of view.
