The year 2023 was filled with both triumphs and failures in the world of football, from major teams like Manchester United and Chelsea to individual players and coaches. Manchester United, under new manager Erik ten Haag, initially showed promise by lifting the League Cup and gaining momentum in the Premier League. However, a devastating 7-0 defeat to Liverpool at Anfield quickly ended any hopes of a successful year.
Chelsea also struggled in 2023, finishing at the bottom of the Premier League table despite spending heavily on new players and releasing others. Borussia Dortmund experienced heartbreak after failing to secure the championship despite a strong season, while Ajax faced managerial and financial crises leading to a series of losses and the departure of key players.
Individual players also faced challenges, such as Sadio Mane, who went from being one of the best players in the world to feeling like a former player in Saudi Arabia. Similarly, Paul Pogba faced a series of injuries and disciplinary issues that may bring his career to an end. Even successful coaches like Christophe Galtier struggled, facing accusations of racism and failing to maintain a successful season with Paris Saint-Germain.
Even established coaches like Fernando Santos experienced failure in 2023, as he was fired from the Polish national team after embarrassing losses in the qualifiers for Euro 2024. The year was one filled with ups and downs, but ultimately highlighted the unpredictability and challenges of the world of football.
