Another One Gone: Chelsea, Amorim & the Illusion of Projects

Another morning, another headline. On this episode of The Bodega Babies Podcast, we react to a chaotic start to the day in football. Enzo Maresca has left Chelsea, and Amorim has been sacked — forcing a bigger conversation about modern football, managerial churn, and the lie we keep telling ourselves about “projects”. We break down what went wrong at Chelsea, why Maresca’s exit feels inevitable rather than surprising, and why changing the manager yet again does nothing to address the deeper structural issues at the club. At this point, the question is simple. What is Chelsea actually moving forward? We also react to the news of Amorim’s dismissal, asking how much responsibility really sits with managers when club hierarchies remain unstable and short-term thinking dominates decision making. Elsewhere, we look at Aston Villa’s continued push, contrasting stability with chaos, and touch on AFCON heating up, with the tournament once again set to influence the second half of the Premier League season. Perspective, accountability, and honesty — this one’s necessary. 🎧 Listen now
