Mauricio Pochettino’s departure from Chelsea was not entirely unexpected, despite the team’s impressive finish to the season. Just two days after the conclusion of the campaign, Chelsea found themselves without a manager once again.
Chelsea’s ownership has a history of making unexpected decisions, as noted by BBC commentator John Murray on The Football Daily podcast. This suggests that they are determined to do things their own way, even if it means letting go of a manager who seemed to be making progress with the team.
Pochettino’s ability to bring out the best in young players was evident in Chelsea’s performances towards the end of the season. Despite this positive development, the club’s ownership seems set on making changes, leading to Pochettino’s departure. It remains to be seen what changes they have planned for the future.
