Since the project began in 2022, the 2022–2023 season has been a disaster on every level, with the team starting under Thomas Tuchel before his swift dismissal, followed by Graham Potter and then Frank Lampard on an interim basis, The team finished the league outside the European places (12th) and were knocked out of the Champions League at the quarter-final stage, a start that reflected the chaos of the project more than anything else.
In the 2023–2024 season, Mauricio Pochettino took charge in an attempt to restore stability, and there was a relative improvement in performance, with the team finishing the season in a mid-table position (6th), but they failed to qualify for the Champions League, and the absence of major trophies continued, leaving doubts about the viability of the project.
The real turning point came in the 2024–2025 season with the appointment of Enzo Maresca, who led the team to one of its best seasons under Bouley; they finished the league in fourth place and qualified for the Champions League, and won the European Conference League title, before also claiming the Club World Cup in 2025 after defeating European champions Paris Saint-Germain in the final, giving the impression that the project was beginning to bear fruit.
However, in the current 2025–2026 season, everything has fallen apart once again; the team began the season under Maresca before he was sacked in January 2026 following a run of poor results, with Liam Rossini taking over, The team then suffered a humiliating exit from the Champions League round of 16 following heavy defeats to Paris Saint-Germain, and currently sit low down the table (sixth), with a real struggle to make the top four.
In the meantime, the constant succession of managers – from Tuchel to Potter, Lampard, Pochettino, Maresca and finally Rossiniore – reflects a lack of any real technical stability, which is considered one of the main reasons for the project’s decline, despite the temporary successes achieved at certain times.
