Chelsea has finished in the sixth position. That is definitely a great turnaround from them. At one point it actually looked like they were going to finish towards the relegation zone.
Mauricio Pochettino did an excellent task by elevating the Blues to 6th position, but Manchester United winning Manchester City in the FA Cup final automatically make them qualify for the Europa League and this is bad news for Chelsea. They will settle for the Conference League. The Blues will do great standings and winning will become important on their end. On the records, Chelsea didn't have a solid planning in the early starting of the English Premier League this season. It was one of the rough runs for the club under the regime of Mauricio Pochettino but things getting ready to become complex.
I think Chelsea's young squad will have difficulty integrating with the new coach in the 2024\25 season.
The Blues have parted ways with Mauricio Pochettino after just one season in charge. An impressive series of matches at the end of the season helped them finish the Premier League in 6th place. In the end, Chelsea played football where everyone thought "Oh, they can come back" and then they fired the manager. I believe this decision does not receive the support of many players in the Chelsea squad. And even the fans. He is a good manager and always knows how to motivate when players are down. He had a tough job here as half the squad was injured during the season, including key players. Finishing 6th place, this can be considered a successful season.
