Following a couple of seasons far removed from the business end of English football, Chelsea turned the corner in 2024–25 and now aim to become protagonists in the Premier League title race.
Enzo Maresca started his tenure in Chelsea’s dugout with an impressive first semester, but a drastic drop in form in January saw the Blues collapse out of the title race entirely. Then came the climax of the term and Champions League football was secured, along with two pieces of silverware: the UEFA Conference League and 2025 Club World Cup—the first two trophies of the new ownership era.
