Enzo Maresca Set to Become Chelsea's New Head Coach

Chelsea in Talks to Appoint Leicester City Manager

Chelsea are in talks to appoint Leicester City manager Enzo Maresca as the replacement for Thomas Tuchel, according to The Athletic's Rob Tanner.

Maresca, 43, has been in charge of Leicester City's development squad since 2019 and has led them to two Premier League 2 titles.

Maresca a Disciple of Pep Guardiola

Maresca is a former midfielder who played for a number of clubs, including Juventus, Sevilla, and Manchester City. He was part of Pep Guardiola's Manchester City team that won the Premier League title in 2012.

Maresca is seen as a rising star in coaching and has been praised for his attacking style of play.

Maresca's Appointment a Major Talking Point

Maresca's appointment would be a major talking point for Chelsea fans. He is a relatively inexperienced manager and has never managed a first-team at a major club.

However, Chelsea's new owner, Todd Boehly, is said to be a fan of Maresca's work and believes that he can be the man to lead Chelsea to success.

Maresca Charged with Reviving Chelsea's Fortunes

If Maresca is appointed as Chelsea's new head coach, he will be immediately charged with reviving the club's fortunes.

Chelsea have had a disappointing season under Tuchel, finishing third in the Premier League and losing in the FA Cup final.

Maresca will be expected to improve Chelsea's results and challenge for major trophies.
