At the end of the season, Chelsea development showed better performance and Pochettino was at least able to bring Chelsea to much better finish, but all of this is not considered an achievement and on the other hand Chelsea will not be able to take part in important competitions such as the UCL or Liga Europe the next season, this is one of the reasons for Pochettino departure.
But on the other hand, if I myself assess in more depth, the real problem that occurs at Chelsea and causes it to be difficult to develop is the decision of Todd Boehly as the owner of Chelsea.
Todd Boehly has been in control of Chelsea for two years and during his time under Todd Boehly ownership there have been around 4 coaches who have taken turns managing Chelsea, clearly this is not good thing because if judge the increase in performance in just one season or less then it will not can be seen significantly.
It takes at least 2 season to be able to show development and be able to assess how the coach is performing in building and directing football team on the right track.
I think in the future if Todd Boehly continues to do the same thing and is not satisfied with the performance of the coach who has only been in charge for no more than 1 season then it will be impossible for Chelsea to show its best performance.
I was amazed by Chelsea at the end of this season under Pochettino, but knowing that next season there will be new coach because of Pochettino departure makes me doubt whether Chelsea will be able to change to be much better than now.
Chelsea have been really poor this season as you can see how much they have changed managed in 2 years of Todd’s takeover. In the space of 2 years they have had over 4 different managers taking over the club and you can imagine 4 different captains with different patterns and philosophies, you can imagine how that will affect the club’s performance. Poch who was just recently sacked to an extent was able to at least handle this team a bit, though he started poorly which I felt had ripple effect on the final position at the end of the season.
The club wasn’t able to make Ucl or Europa League football and I think this is bad for a club like Chelsea but at least improvements were seen in Poch’s era at the club. I also feel the owners should try and have a sense of patience and understand they have a young squad. The new coach should be given the wheels for at least 2 seasons and then judged after that because sincerely I don’t see any reason for Poch been sacked from the club.
Well I think they need to restrategize and have a new approach in the club once the new owner is confirmed. And they should also try to watch out on their signings as the squad is now becoming overpacked with talents that needs effective management. These carried out will help build the club and bring it back on the radar of Europe’s top clubs once more.
