#3 Chelsea’s meltdown
Trending
Many thought that United’s title defence under David Moyes would remain the worst one in some time to come, but Chelsea obliged to take that record away from Manchester United soon enough, as they finished in the 10th spot in the table. Jose Mourinho was in charge when Chelsea saw their downfall, struggling to find wins as they saw themselves fall to 15th on the table.
“The Special One” was ousted just before the new year, and Chelsea fell back to a man who had been a crisis fixer for them before; Guus Hiddink.
The Dutchman improved Chelsea's form slightly, as the dressing room which was once lost in turmoil returned to a better state and on-field performances looked more convincing. However, they failed to win a single trophy and were knocked out of Europe by Paris Saint-Germain.
The reasons for the meltdown was a fall out between players and the manager, with Jose Mourinho apparently losing the dressing room. Mourinho again suspected spies and traitors and looked at a loss when on the byline.
They managed to reverse their fortunes this season, however, under new coach Antonio Conte and currently lead the Premier League table.
