“The Blues” continue to rebuild their squad, but it’s fair to say that this process has dragged on for quite some time. In the second half of last season, it seemed that Mauricio Pochettino had finally found the right direction for the team. Chelsea reached the Carabao Cup final, played in the FA Cup semifinals, and finished the league in sixth place, ending the season with a run of five consecutive wins.
However, the days of the Argentine manager in London were numbered, and the club decided to part ways with him. Enzo Maresca has been appointed as the new head coach. Moreover, the club has once again been active in the transfer market, making several significant signings. Now, the coaching staff faces the challenge of integrating numerous new players into the existing core of the team.
“The Citizens” once again demonstrated their superiority last season by winning the Premier League. Manchester City outpaced London’s Arsenal and secured the championship title for the fourth consecutive time—a feat that had never been achieved before. Additionally, Pep Guardiola’s team won the FIFA Club World Cup for the first time in the club’s history.
However, in the domestic cups and the UEFA Champions League, the “Sky Blues” were eliminated earlier than expected, although these setbacks hardly overshadowed their triumphant season. During the offseason, the club sold Julián Álvarez and made only one significant signing, bringing in Savio. Over the summer, City played four friendly matches, suffering three defeats and securing one victory. Nonetheless, this did not prevent them from winning the FA Community Shield, defeating Manchester United in a penalty shootout with a score of 2-1.
