Enzo Maresca Feels Champions League Qualification Would Reduce Chelsea ‘Noise’
- Chelsea head coach Enzo Maresca led the team to a 1-0 victory over Nottingham Forest on May 26, 2025, at the City Ground, securing Champions League qualification.
- This achievement follows a turbulent first season that began with Maresca overhauling the squad and managing criticism over playing style amid over £1 billion investment since May 2022.
- Chelsea's young squad showed undeniable progress despite a dip in form from December to March, with Moises Caicedo emerging as Player of the Year after a British-record £115 million signing.
- Maresca acknowledged that initially the team had to deal with distractions, which were mostly caused by external factors rather than internal issues, highlighting their responsibility to overcome outside skepticism.
- This return to Europe's top competition, a first in three seasons, marks progress under Maresca and suggests Chelsea's rebuilding efforts under current ownership are starting to pay off.
