No one at Chelsea is guaranteed job security if the club fails to qualify for the Champions League, with the hierarchy prepared to make significant changes in the summer if necessary.
Chelsea’s ownership is growing increasingly frustrated with the club’s form since Christmas, and while there is no panic yet, every position—from the manager to the sporting directors—is under scrutiny. Sources indicate that if Chelsea fail to qualify for the Champions League, significant changes will be considered, though no in-season sackings are planned unless results drastically deteriorate. While there is still confidence within the club that they can secure a top-four or top-five finish, the hierarchy acknowledges that missing out on Champions League football for another season would demand a full review of the entire operation. The owners remain committed to their vision but are not so stubborn that they won’t make adjustments if needed.
