Yes, maybe Chelsea can make a surprise next season, I think they might have the chance to be in 3rd or 4th place because the new Chelsea coach is very experienced in premier league. But to win this league, I doubt it. Because we still have Manchester City which has a higher chance at there, they are unstoppable in last season and maybe they can do it again next. Although it's too early to say that.
Everyone will definitely look forward to Chelsea's performance next season with a new coach and also the selection of players who are more competent to fill regular places in every match. I think it's true if Chelsea will return to the top 4 because they will make every effort so that next season the same mistakes are not repeated. Even so if competing for the EPL title it is still quite far from the current squad building mission and I think Chelsea will be able to achieve that after the next 2 or 3 seasons.
Manchester city is indeed the only team that has been very consistent so far and they certainly want to defend the EPL title they have won this season and as long as Pep Guardiola is at Manchester City, I think the dream of other teams to beat Manchester City from the EPL title race will vanish.
I think with the new manager Chelsea can come back from a slump this season, a lot of players from their squad need to improve, if they don't improve and don't have the desire to pick themselves up then it will be difficult for them to get into the top 4 next season. at least get the next UCL ticket. I can't wait to see Pochettino rekindle Chelsea's spirit next season.
At least I see Chelsea as a respected club as before and not slumped like this season to drop to 12th place, so next season Pochettino wants Chelsea to be able to rise from their slump and can't wait to see Chelsea compete with him next season. other big clubs like Manchester city.
Chelsea new manager Mauricio Pochettino has proven record of maximizing the full potentials of his team players as we all witnessed how he reached the UEFA Champions League final with an average team like Tottenham Hotspur.
Chelsea's sqaud is made up of world class players and their problem is a manager who can initiate a playing pattern that can bring out the best from them and I think Mauricio Pochettino can confidently do it
