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.
If I'm not mistaken, one of the reasons why Chelsea finally decided to part ways with Mauricio Pochettino was because they failed to get a place in the European league, even though that was unexpected because Manchester United's victory in the FA Cup changed the fate of several clubs, including Chelsea.
People are doubting Chelsea again, it looks like a stupid decision to change coaches again and again, imagine if Arsenal didn't keep Arteta maybe they wouldn't be the competitive team they are today.
Todd Boehly should be more patient in seeing his club develop, otherwise there is no guarantee that Enzo Maresca will stay at this club for more than one season.
You cannot expect to see a broken team that couldn't have good performances in the past and was loaded with old and expensive players who got money for nothing and could not have a good performance after they changed their coach in a short time. Chelsea changed a lot when Mauricio Pochettino joined the team and they tried to have a better performance than they had before but it was not enough and even using younger players will take some time for these players to have better performance while getting Pochettino fired from the tea cannot solve anything for them.
