Statement released – Enzo Maresca has left Chelsea after 18 months in charge

Enzo Maresca has now left Chelsea after some stuttering results over the past few weeks has now meant that the Blues are now out of the race for that Premier League title

After Chelsea’s 2-2 draw with Bournemouth, CHELSEA have now only managed one win in their last seven games. Their awful recent form has heaped pressure onto head coach Enzo Maresca, who is in his second season in charge after making the switch from Leicester City in the summer of 2024.

After securing Champions League qualification and winning the Europa Conference League in his first season, progress has stagnated this term, and with the amount of money that has been spent over the last couple of transfer windows, the board have been expecting better results than what have been delivered.

Sky Sports News had reported that Maresca was on the brink of a Stamford Bridge exit and Chelsea – who face Manchester City live on Sky Sports on Sunday – confirmed the news in a statement on New Year’s Day.

It read: “Chelsea Football Club and head coach Enzo Maresca have parted company.

“During his time at the club, Enzo led the team to success in the UEFA Conference League and the FIFA Club World Cup. Those achievements will remain an important part of the club’s recent history, and we thank him for his contributions to the club.

“With key objectives still to play for across four competitions including qualification for Champions League football, Enzo and the club believe a change gives the team the best chance of getting the season back on track.”
