Chelsea is predicted to struggle under Maresca's first season. After Chelsea fired Pochettino, the blues signed Maresca. This decision forces Chelsea to start from the bottom again.
If Maresca didn’t perform well in the first season, then we should expect him to be fired just the way Pochettino was fired. Chelsea doesn’t have patience with their coaches, so if Maresca doesn’t perform well, then he will also be leaving, which is really affecting Chelsea. A coach can’t just fix everything within a season, if the first season of a coach isn’t really good, then the coach should be given more time. Pochettino's performance wasn’t really bad towards the end of last season, which means he was already getting the Perfect squad for Chelsea, but he has been sacked, and the new coach will have to start building his own squad, which might really take time.
So I am not expecting Chelsea to play anything special next season because the coach will have to start building his squad, and it’s not really going to be easy for him to adapt to new players.
Although I don't like Mauricio Pochettino very much, he was on the verge of great success at Chelsea last season. Pochettino is a system manager with a certain understanding of football. He has the potential to take his teams step by step to the next level. In fact, they had to be patient with him, but in today's world, success has to come instantly. However, Pochettino is a manager who can get good results with bad squads. I think Chelsea fans have no patience anymore and that's why if the Chelsea management fails, they blame it on the manager. If the Chelsea management is not patient, they will restructure the team with every failure. This means that Chelsea will fail for many years.
