5 reasons for Chelsea to worry if they fail to qualify for next season's Champions League

#4 New manager could struggle in Premier League

Chelsea's fans have been disappointed with the club's feeble title defence this season

Should Conte be shown the exit door, then the club will have to find a candidate who can have an instant impact like the ex-Italy coach had in his first season in charge at Chelsea as he won the title.

It also coincided with Pep Guardiola’s first season in England and Jurgen Klopp’s first full season with Liverpool. In addition to this, Jose Mourinho had just moved to Old Trafford.

These three managers have improved their respective clubs this season and they will further strengthen the squad in the summer.

Considering the way City are performing in the Premier League, it would be difficult for anyone to stop them. To make things worse, they are more likely to further strengthen the squad in the summer.

They are miles ahead and it will be difficult for United and Liverpool, who are second and third currently in the league to reduce the gap at the top.

Thus, it could be difficult for Conte’ successor to have such an impact next season.
