Enzo Maresco: Why Chelsea manager is really under pressure

On Tuesday, Enzo Maresca, Chelsea manager, faced mounting pressure after a 2-2 home draw at Stamford Bridge and just one win in seven Premier League games, though reports on Wednesday say he is not in immediate danger.
After his 2024 appointment from Leicester City for £10m, Maresca led Chelsea under a youth-focused transfer policy amid recurring poor December form, with only two wins last season from mid-December to February.
Maresca has raised his profile by switching agents from the Wasserman agency to Jorge Mendes, denying links to Manchester City, and urging reporters to question the hierarchy while criticizing the club after Levi Colwill's injury.
Internal tensions surfaced after the hierarchy warned that Maresca’s stance could prompt academy prospect Josh Acheampong to request a transfer, and his 'worst 48 hours' comments surprised senior management.
Looking ahead, the club's backing and betting markets suggest strong support from Paul Winstanley, Lawrence Stewart, and Behdad Eghbali, while BetVictor lists Xavi as the favourite at 6/1.
