The Instability at Chelsea FC

Chelsea is often seen as a club with a manufactured identity, making it hard for fans to truly connect. The frequent rotation of managers and a high player turnover raise questions about stability. Notable managerial changes include Roberto Di Matteo, sacked six months after winning the 2012 Champions League. Similarly, Thomas Tuchel was dismissed a year after leading Chelsea to the 2021 Champions League title. Club legend Frank Lampard even scored against Chelsea for Manchester City. Key players like Kai Havertz and Mason Mount, both instrumental in the 2021 UCL win, later joined Arsenal and Manchester United respectively. Jorginho and Mateo Kovacic also departed for rival clubs. Recently, Enzo Maresca was sacked less than six months after winning the Conference League and Club World Cup. This constant flux, coupled with a massive squad of around 50 players, highlights a unique challenge among top European clubs.
