I wouldn't be so sure about next year's Tottenham's performances because this team is just too unpredictable. They are coming from two terrible seasons, don't get distracted by the fact that they won an Europa League, their Premier League performances have been terrible considering the amount of money they spend for players and wages.

The last two seasons were marked by how the management should have made changes to the team, even though they won the Europa League in the 2024/2025 season after beating Manchester United, their performance in the Premier League was very poor.. Last season, Tottenham almost got relegated and this should be the first step for Tottenham to do a major evaluation. If this is not done, I doubt they can perform much better next season because the competition will be much tighter than last season.

De Zerbi is a good coach, and I also think he is the right choice for Tottenham. I remember his first season at Brighton, he uplifted Brighton to be one of the most creative side in the EPL, and they also finished 6th in the table that season. This shows that he still has the quality of winning any trophy next season, or better still qualify for Europe next season. Tottenham still needs to sign good attackers, and also overhaul some players especially those that has low resistance to injuries.

The success of a team does not depend wholly on only the coach. Both the players and management will have to do their own part.

Tottenham should be one of the team we should watch closely next season because they will have a good season, any premier league club fans know who De Zerbi is when he was coaching Brighton, he always had a incredible season with Brighton and turning some young players into a good player that attracted many teams, he also has a good job at Marseille in League One and he all left those clubs because of some issues but not because of his performance because he always delivered.

Tottenham have sign three players already and it looks like they are not done yet, they want to sign many experience players that can help the team because after the club sign many top players they did not have a good season with Brighton, Kudu and Simon always have a injury and some other important players and that also cause to get to the relegation position but with the help of De Zerbi they are play in Premier League and they will be back stronger than ever.

I wouldn't be so sure about next year's Tottenham's performances because this team is just too unpredictable. They are coming from two terrible seasons, don't get distracted by the fact that they won an Europa League, their Premier League performances have been terrible considering the amount of money they spend for players and wages.

The Europa league Tottenham Hotspur won was more like a certain or sure game for them because that is how they always play Manchester united anytime they meet. And if you can remember, Manchester united was somehow better than Tottenham Hotspur last season before the Europa league finals yet they won Manchester united and then misbehave with other teams and I'm sure if they meet Manchester united with this current form they will beat Manchester united.

Manchester United faced a difficult season, they were about to lose everything, at a certain point (unfortunately late) they started to take matters into their own hands, they focused on the Championship obtaining an excellent result considering they were in really bad shape.
Next season I really think he could achieve great results, I'm not sure about a good first place, but I'm sure they will put on a show and especially entertain the fans.

The start of the season was quite difficult in terms of finding their best form so it was natural for them to be near the bottom of the table. However what I admire is how quickly they responded to the sacking of Amorim who was not yet at his best. After Amorim's dismissal Manchester United management appointed Michael Carrick as their alternate coach until the end of the season.

Under the cool hands of a Man United legend, the Red Devils' performance seems to have found its best performance so that slowly but surely we can say that they have given more wins to teams whose positions from the bottom have begun to show signs of rising to the top and it was all proven until the end of the season they managed to get a UCL ticket which next season they will play again in the UCL competition and this I think is a very natural thing and desired by Man United supporters where Michael Carrick's position is starting to gain trust so that currently the management has decided that the main coach for next season who will lead Man United is Michael Carrick who is the permanent coach in navigating the EPL competition next season I think he will be able to maintain the team's performance as he has done until he gets a ticket to compete in the UCL competition.

Manchester United have fought very well in this current season, which with their current performance I can confidently say that they will be among the title contender next season. Manchester United will face a lot of challenges because this season they finish in the third place on the table, the teams that occurred first and the second have good performance which we hope that next season they continue to return to that position.

Manchester City will like to challenge for the title likewise arsenal will also like to retain their position of winning the trophy again and Manchester United will like to take over this two teams, but to be honest till first a lot of challenges because this teams doesn't seem to decline in their performance which I believe that Premier League will be very interesting because of this challenges.

Man united will challenge for the title this coming winning the title or any other trophy will be carrick target this coming season it will definitely going to be a challenging and a tough season because some of the big club that didn't perform well will want to put a good fight to win the premier league title in the coming season. Man united ended the season well despite they didn't win any title but from were they are before carrick took over nobody would have believe that Man united will even 3rd in the table.

Well, since it micheal Carrick again I’m not really sure if they will have a good season, I know he did a good job as an interim manager and he brought them back to the champions league, infact since he took over he was the best manager in the premier league since the end of the season but then we have seen this before, we has given this job before and it didn’t end well, so for me I won’t put my hopes high, I will just wait and see how next season goes.

A lot still need to be fix at Manchester United aside a new manager, that defense need to be attend to and also that midfield too. Well the transfers are still early, let see what additions they make before august.

Entertainment is not what Manchester United fans desire. All we desire right now is Manchester United management making five to six  significant signatures during this transfer window and then go ahead to win the Premier League Competition and also have a good time in the Champions League competition.
The desire is hell high and the players are working towards achieving it. I also do not want to entertain no excuses. Manchester United stepping up last season was entertaining enough. We need to go back to total domination like the glory ol' days.

Manchester United is going to be better than last season under Carrick and we should not be surprised if they perform well in both Premier and Champions league because they have good chemistry with each other and playing as a team, Manchester United last season os very good and they don’t play possession ball but they find a way to win matches because they know how to use their counter attack against the opponents and score goals, Manchester United is the best team in Premier League when it comes to counter attack.

They did not have a good season under Amorim but under Carrick they are different and they understand each other very well, and with the signing of new players Manchester United is going to be more dangerous than before because the players they are signing are good, although some are not world class players but they will have a good performance that will help the team.

Tottenham has made the Senesi transfer official... It's a really smart move by De Zerbi. Senesi was available for free transfer. He was one of the best defenders of this season in the PL without doubt! 

De Zerbi is just stating the players he wants to see at his team and the board is doing it as in the deal between them. I believe in him to save this team next season. Maybe not a title race but they can compete for a CL spot.

Tottenham needs to strengthen its squad depth in order to perform well next season. However, I don’t see Tottenham making much of a splash in the transfer market, especially since they’ve only signed one new player so far, and that was a free transfer. If De Zerbi wants to get Tottenham back into the Champions League, then the club’s management needs to sign several quality players to build a strong squad depth. Therefore, let’s see how active Tottenham is in this transfer window, as they’ll need to make significant changes to be competitive next season.

Their performance has been really bad this season, and bringing in a few players probably won't turn the team into something amazing for next season's Champions League race. We haven't seen how other teams will do yet either, but I think the teams that dominated this season will still be strong next season. If the effort Tottenham is putting in is still lacking, probably not much will change in their performance.

Absolutely,  squad depth has been a major weakness for Tottenham Hotspur and one signing isn't enough to close the gap on the club around them if Tottenham Hotspur want to challenge for a top four finish the management has to be much more active in the market signing quality players. One thing to note is that the transfer market in is still open for any of the club to sign good quality players before epl will keep off on August 16th. Premier league will be very tough I believe the defending champion are also trying to make sure to still maintain their ground if they can still add more quality players before the transfer window will elapsed.

I hope so too, given that Manchester City has a very strong squad and has been performing quite consistently, so it’s hard to imagine them falling apart right away. However, we must acknowledge that one of the biggest factors behind Manchester City success so far has been Pep Guardiola significant influence. The new coach does have experience working with Guardiola, but proving himself as the head coach is a different challenge, the pressure in making every decision is certainly greater, but hopefully what Guardiola has built can be carried on successfully.

Nothing is impossible in football because usually a change of coach can cause some crucial problems and we don't expect that to happen because Manchester City built by Pep Guardiola is so good.
Enzo Maresca may face quite a tough challenge, but I am sure he can overcome this problem considering that he is also quite familiar with the Premier League with quite high intensity.
The pressure faced by Enzo Maresca will certainly be much greater because fans and management will definitely demand more next season and how he can bring Manchester City to compete for the title.

Enzo Maresca should already know what to do if he becomes the coach of Man City, the first demand is not to make Man City performance decline, the second is to be able to compete for the EPL title, but as a fan, he should not demand too much from Enzo Maresca, he is a new coach who must adapt first, so the management and fans should be able to understand that at the beginning of his first season he may not be able to give the EPL title, at least Man City continues to perform consistently and in the following season he can give the title to Man City.

[qurbanshah02]

For this I was quite eager and wanted to see what the conditions of this season would be. If the teams play hard and perform well, then surely we can see the new team succeed for the title, but Arsenal will dominate this time too and will not rest because they will be tempted to show performance in the Premier League at least for now. If Aston Villa, Chelsea, Crystal Palace work hard, then there can be good performance and strength in the players, which can put pressure on Arsenal. I have also seen these teams making purchases and now the result of this will be known on the field when the teams will face each other. For this, they will have to play well this season so that when he arrives, he can increase his team even more.

The last two seasons were marked by how the management should have made changes to the team, even though they won the Europa League in the 2024/2025 season after beating Manchester United, their performance in the Premier League was very poor.. Last season, Tottenham almost got relegated and this should be the first step for Tottenham to do a major evaluation. If this is not done, I doubt they can perform much better next season because the competition will be much tighter than last season.

Tottenham's performance in the premier league last season was also very bad. They were very close to the relegation zone. After winning the  europa league, Tottenham management should have  strengthened their squad. But they did not do  it. As usual, this season we saw a very bad performance of thev team. Tottenham was very lucky that they were able to avoid the  relegation zone. If they do not strengthen the squad this season , then they will perform so  badly next season. I would have been happy if Tottenham could not qualify for the premier league. This would have been an  extreme lesson for tottenham management.

[Nahl]

I wouldn't be so sure about next year's Tottenham's performances because this team is just too unpredictable. They are coming from two terrible seasons, don't get distracted by the fact that they won an Europa League, their Premier League performances have been terrible considering the amount of money they spend for players and wages.

Tottenham actually didn't stopped to improved their weaknesses even for each season Tottenham always bought new players to strengthen their squad but i don't get it that everytime new players arrived they cannot playing well even flop which makes team condition is really bad.
Now after De Zerbi handled this team i am sure he will do some changes for Tottenham squad even, the prediction is Tottenham will sell almost a half of their current squad for effectivities and the rumour is Richarlison is the player who potentially will be sell this summer but, it's hard to predict Tottenham for next season because in the last two season they always be fighting for relegation zone

Any team without a good squad depth can't compete with other big teams in the Premier League, the team might do well in the beginning of the season but with time their performance would drop, so Tottenham has to work on that this season, they need about 7 or more signings if they really want to do better.
 Tottenham nearly got relegated last season so they'll be working more on building a strong team for the future, De Zerbi's task by the board could be finishing in top 10 position or qualifying for the Conference League atleast, there won't be too much pressure on him expect the team perform poorly for too long then they'll think of replacing him.

City are giving the sacked Chelsea manager the responsibility of their squad. Chelsea sacked Maresca because he failed in the Premier League. Maresca should take charge of a Serie A or Bundesliga club.

He was with Chelsea for 2 years. We do not see any achievements from Chelsea. Their performance was very bad last season. And this is why Maresca was sacked. Can Maresca be a worthy successor to Guardiola? This possibility is low.

One of the reasons for making Maresca the manager is probably that he has worked at Manchester City before. He was the manager of Manchester City EDS. He also worked with Guardiola in the 2022-23 season. This is probably the biggest reason for giving Maresca the responsibility.

You are showing Enzo Maresca like a really bad manager man.    The reason of his sacking was mainly because of incapable Chelsea owners.

Did they even listen to what he wanted? No. They just applied the same trash transfer policy. Collect young players for cheap prices and hope for selling them with a profit in the future. This isn't the way to success!

Maresca's style resembles Guardiola. That's why the expectation from him is not low. We will see how long it will take him to start cooking at Manchester City...

Manchester united fought but that was when Michael Carrick arrived in the club, they were not ready to risk it all or should I say Amorim was not putting much on them and until the club has to take a proper measurement to bring Carrick to come take the job. In his first 8 games, there were no loss, just 6 and 2 draw, that was when I Knew things were turning well for them. If only they start the league that away, it would have placed them in better place on the table.

The only thing I'm afraid for them now is what they will turnout by next season, we have seen what Carrick can do and he has been retained to continue the next season with the team but this was what Amorim did to take the table from Ten Hag and he became the next failure. I hope not but if he becomes the new failure, it will turned to a regular problem like Chelsea is dealing right now, sacking coaches too much isn't too healthy for the team.
