Everyone applauded Pochettino towards the end of the season, so everyone expected Chelsea to keep him. It was a shock to everyone to see them sack Pochettino. Let’s just hope the new coach performs better.
Enzo Maresca will do a better job, everyone knows that because he's promising and have handled a team populated with young talents that are yet to expose. The new coach will always know the sectors to exert full concentration because Chelsea team is in shackles handled by young players that most of them are yet to enter their peak stage. Mauricio Pochettino relieved from his managerial duties was rather consider to be drastical decision for the club. This have been one of the disturbing performing stats for the club but they will do better next season.
Chelsea management actually took the decision too quickly by firing Pochettino. Chelsea should give Pochettino a longer chance to adapt more optimally and better understand the character of his players. The reason is that Pochettino almost found a very neat scheme with Chelsea. It is proven that at the end of this season Chelsea's performance has indeed improved drastically. But unfortunately Chelsea management doesn't see this, they think Pochettino has failed to make Chelsea a great team. In fact, if you look deeper, Pochettino's struggle with Chelsea is actually still in its early stages. But it can't be helped, now Pochettino has officially been fired from Chelsea's coaching chair. So currently Chelsea is starting from zero with a new coach (Enzo Maresca).
Enzo Maresca is also a very great coach, because this season he succeeded in bringing Leicester City to qualify for the Premier League (division one). But still, no matter how great a coach is, it definitely takes a long process to make a football team into a truly great team. Therefore, this season Chelsea will certainly start from zero with Enzo Maresca, the point is that Chelsea cannot immediately become a team that competes with the top teams in the Premier League next season. My prediction is that maybe from the middle of the season Chelsea will be able to show their best performance and be able to compete with the top teams in the Premier League. That is if Enzo Maresca can really adapt quickly with the Chelsea players. However, if the adaptation is slow enough, I am sure Chelsea's performance will take a long time to reach its best performance.
