Enzo Maresca, the newly appointed manager of Chelsea, has outlined his vision for the team as he takes on the coaching role. Chelsea confirmed Maresca’s appointment today, June 3, 2024, following the recent departure of Mauricio Pochettino. Despite Pochettino’s achievements in leading Chelsea to the Carabao Cup final and the FA Cup semi-final, the club’s owners decided to make a change.
Maresca, who previously guided Leicester City to the EFL Championship title in the 2023-2024 season, acknowledges the challenge of managing a top-tier club like Chelsea but is eager to continue the team’s tradition of success. His primary goals are to build a winning team and bring major titles to Chelsea, aiming to satisfy the club’s passionate fan base.
Expressing his excitement about joining Chelsea, Maresca emphasized his commitment to developing a competitive team. “To join Chelsea, one of the biggest clubs in the world, is a dream for any coach. It is why I am so excited by this opportunity,” he said. “I look forward to working with a very talented group of players and staff to develop a team that continues the club’s tradition of success and makes our fans proud.”
Maresca has signed a five-year contract with Chelsea, indicating his long-term commitment to the club. He will begin training Chelsea’s first-team players from July 4, although some players may be unavailable due to international duties.
