Mauricio Pochettino's first season at Chelsea has been challenging.
Not only has he taken charge of a new club with ambitious new owners, but he has had to contend with a young side that has been consistently hampered by injuries.
When Chelsea beat Middlesbrough in the second leg of the Carabao Cup semi-final, the Blues boss said it was a big achievement as he had to build the team from "nearly zero".
There have been times this season when it seemed like the Pochettino project would not work and he has been under pressure from fans and the weight of the club's modern history of winning trophies.
