Chelsea are set for another demanding summer as they look to secure some forward progress after a massively disappointing 2022/23. Mauricio Pochettino is set to take charge of a team in desperate need of reinvigoration and searching for a new identity.
Frank Lampard, the Blues' fourth boss of the season, highlighted in his final press conference as caretaker manager that the club had a number of situations that needed to be resolved. Perhaps most notably, allowing players to leave.
He said: "The squad has been to deep and that's the biggest challenge I've found day-to-day. Coming in and trying to work with big numbers and players that are maybe a little bit, for whatever reason, disillusioned, for right or wrong, that they're not playing or they might be leaving. Those situations can be sorted out now and they have to be."
