Fabrizio Romano reports that Chelsea and Enzo Maresca are set to part ways, with an official announcement expected soon. This decision follows recent comments from Maresca, who described his experience in the past 48 hours as challenging and felt a lack of support. The team’s poor performance, with only one league win in six matches, contributed to the breakdown of their relationship.
Enzo Maresca Leaves Chelsea
A Notable Tenure?
Maresca was brought in from Leicester City and initially had a successful first season with Chelsea. He led the team back to the Champions League and secured victories in the Europa Conference League and Club World Cup, marking a significant achievement for the owners.
His tenure included memorable moments, such as a win against Barcelona, as European matches returned to Stamford Bridge for the men’s team.
Struggles & Pressure
However, this month, the team’s performance has declined, highlighted by defeats against Leeds, a draw with Bournemouth, and a narrow loss to Aston Villa. The earlier draw with Arsenal, which positioned them in the top three, now seems far away.
The situation escalated publicly after a win against Everton when Maresca used a question about Malo Gusto to express his frustrations about feeling unsupported. The pressure increased following the recent draw with Bournemouth.
According to Romano, official statements regarding the separation will be announced soon as Chelsea looks for a new head coach.
