See how Pochettino handled Chelsea until the first half of the season was a failure because most of them lost rather than won while Pochettino was only able to rise in the last few matches this did not give him any chance the club manager already knew what to evaluate, with the new manager Maresca maybe Chelsea will be better at the start of the season.
And Maresca will not fully fulfill the expectations of Chelsea's manager, he also needs a longer adaptation to see the team's situation get better, therefore with the hope that the new manager Maresca Chelsea will return to competition even though I myself am still not sure.
Chelsea before appointing Mauricio Pochentino as their club manager last summer wasn't in their best instead, they were suffering from their very poor performances so Mauricio Pochentino came to the club to help revive the club's poor state and that's why I didn't blame him for not having an instant positive impact on the Chelsea team. For a coach to make a team become formidable after a long period of poor results, then he must be given enough time to rebuild and that I don't think Chelsea's management was patient enough to give to their sacked manager. In the last 10 league games of the just concluded season, Chelsea performances showed that there's a significant improvement from what we saw last two seasons so I wasn't expecting the club to sack Mauricio Pochentino when the team has shown enough improvement.
Now that they've signed former Leicester City manager Enzo Maresca, how sure are Chelsea's management that he'll have an instant positive impact on the team and if he fails to do that, will he also be immediately sacked at the end of the season?
Chelsea's poor performance in the first half of the season is because the players have not stabilized their positions. They are young players so the constant replacement of coaches makes them unable to adapt quickly to the coach's tactics. Chelsea went through a period of ups and downs under Mauricio Pochettino. Bringing the team to a 6th place finish at the end of the season is not a bad achievement for this strategist. For new coach Maresca, if he continues to keep the players' positions stable, his current job at Chelsea will probably be easier.
In the requirements for a new coach set by Chelsea's board of directors, one of the criteria is 'being able to compete with Guardiola and Arteta'. This task is difficult. Let's wait and see how Chelsea will develop with new head coach Enzo Maresca.
