Sonia Bompastor takes Chelsea to new levels of dominance in ominous warning to rivals
If Arne Slot has risen to the challenge of replacing an era-defining manager at Liverpool this season then at Chelsea, Sonia Bompastor has made it look no sort of challenge at all.
Having inherited English women’s football’s leading side from Emma Hayes last summer, Bompastor now stands on the brink of completing the perfect domestic campaign in her first season: beat Manchester United in Sunday’s FA Cup final at Wembley and the Blues will have won the treble without losing a game.
The five successive WSL titles won under the former manager have already become six and this season’s triumph represented a new level of dominance.
