Enzo Maresca leaves Chelsea days before Man City clash amid return rumours
- Chelsea Football Club announced on New Year's Day that the club and Head Coach Enzo Maresca have parted company after only 18 months at Stamford Bridge.
- After a poor run of results, Chelsea's slump with one win in seven matches and public dissent, including complaints over support around December, fueled tensions with senior officials.
- Maresca, who joined in June 2024, won the UEFA Conference League and FIFA Club World Cup after Chelsea paid £10m for his long-term contract until 2029.
- The club said the change aims to help the team across four competitions, with Willy Caballero handling immediate media duties and reports saying Chelsea will appoint a new manager very soon, with Liam Rosenior linked among candidates.
- In recent weeks, Maresca was linked with Manchester City amid Pep Guardiola uncertainty, while Xavi is the 6/1 favourite and Chelsea begin a busy January schedule starting with Manchester City.
