Chelsea FC To Win The Premier League Next Season

Despite having a dismal season, and being forced to sack its arguably the most successful, most loved manager in Jose Mourinho, Chelsea fc are tipped to win the Premier League in the 2016/2017 season. Well, some may argue and say that it will take time for Antonio Conte to restructure the team and adopt to the English game, just like Manchester United have suffered after Sir Alex Ferguson retired, but that will not be the case with Chelsea. 

Andre Villa Boaz and The big Phill Scolari are the only head managers that left without any trophies in the Abramovich era. By head managers we mean the ones that were not interim. The rest won a trophy, two or more! In other words, Chelsea has had a history of hiring and firing coaches, and have never struggled to be among the top four, at least, because the only time that never happened, they became the European Champions.  

Having had had a very good history with Italian coaches, with one in Roberto Di Matteo delivering Roman Abramovich's most desired trophy, the UEFA Champions league, Chelsea fc's recently appointed manager is a good choice. Antonio Conte is coming in at a time when Chelsea will not be having any European competitions to participate in. This will give Chelsea time to concentrate in the domestic leagues and with the quality and standard players at their disposal, there is a likely hood of a mass improvement in the play despite the change of philosophy due to the managerial change.

Conte is known for his strictness, direct style of football and his tactical formations that have been a success. He mostly prefers playing with three center backs, five midfielders and two strikers. Even though most of Chelsea fc players were under par, there is expected to be an overhaul of players that will see a rejuvenated squad be paraded for the coming season. What else do you expect from a manager who won three consecutive Italian leagues? No doubt the same! 

There was only one problem with Chelsea last season. A porous defense! In the past, the defense used to block the ball and prevented the conceding of goals and supplied it to the forwards who were very fast to attack and counter attack, scoring goals that made Chelsea win more points. If Conte solves this problem, then be rest assured that Chelsea will win the Premier League come next season.
