Chelsea has officially appointed Enzo Maresca as their new head coach. The agreement was reached following Mauricio Pochettino’s departure after just one season in charge at Stamford Bridge. Enzo Maresca, who led Leicester City to the Championship title last season, is set to take on the challenge of turning Chelsea’s fortunes around. The deal includes a contract valid until June 2029, with an option to extend until June 2030. Chelsea is expected to pay a compensation fee to Leicester for Maresca’s services, estimated to be around £10 million. With pressure mounting on Maresca to secure Chelsea’s return to the Champions League next season and potentially win the Europa Conference League, this appointment represents a significant risk for Chelsea. However, fans are urged to support Maresca as he embarks on this new chapter in his coaching career, hoping that it will mark a positive turning point for the club under its new ownership.
