The 2023/24 season has seen Chelsea facing the possibility of going consecutive years without winning a trophy for the first time since 2004, as well as consecutive years without European qualification for the first since 1996. This season has been marked by inconsistency, likely due to the team’s young squad and a high number of injuries.

There are concerns that the team is overly reliant on a single player, referred to as “Cole Palmer FC,” and that under previous management, the head coach, Pochettino, would have been seeking other job opportunities. The team’s performance this season has raised questions about the effectiveness of the sporting directors and ownership, in addition to the head coach and players.

While a decision about Pochettino’s future is pending until the end of the season, potential replacements are being considered, although finding a suitable candidate may be challenging. Some candidates being considered include the “Special One” and managers like Amorim, the Italian boss, and De Zerbi.

Amorim has stated that he would quit his current role if they do not win the league, while De Zerbi has expressed contentment with his current position in England. Motta, known for his innovative system of play, has received interest from top clubs and may be open to a new opportunity.

However, he has expressed a preference for a positive environment, which may be a concern given the current atmosphere at Stamford Bridge. Overall, the future of Chelsea’s coaching staff and the potential changes in management remain uncertain, with various options being considered amidst a challenging season.
