Chelsea’s 2023/24 Season

Pochettino took charge of Chelsea in the 2023/24 season. Despite finishing the Premier League season with a five-game winning run, there were underlying uncertainties behind the scenes. Chairman Todd Boehly called for patience, but the opinions of other senior board members, including co-controlling owner Behdad Eghbali, remained unclear. The decision-makers faced criticism due to Pochettino’s discontent expressed during news conferences about injuries and squad composition.

While Pochettino was open to continuing depending on the outcome of the post-season meeting, concerns were raised in the final weeks of his tenure.

Pochettino’s departure leaves Chelsea seeking a new direction. His managerial style and tactical approach will be missed, but the club now faces the challenge of finding a suitable replacement. Fans will be eager to see how Chelsea regroups and prepares for the upcoming season.
