Chelsea Announce Enzo Maresca as New Manager on Long-Term Deal

Enzo Maresca has been appointed as the new manager of Chelsea Football Club, succeeding Mauricio Pochettino who departed the club last week.

The 44-year-old Italian arrives at Stamford Bridge with a burgeoning reputation, having secured an immediate return to the Premier League with Leicester City in his first season as a manager.

Maresca Lands Lucrative Contract After Impressing at Leicester

Reports suggest Chelsea have agreed to a significant compensation package with Leicester City, believed to be around £10 million, to secure Maresca's services. The Italian has signed a five-year contract with the option for an additional year, keeping him at the club potentially until 2030.

Maresca's impressive spell at Leicester, where he guided the Foxes back to the top flight after relegation the previous season, convinced Chelsea's new ownership group led by Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital. His experience as Pep Guardiola's assistant at Manchester City, where he played a key role in their historic treble win, further bolstered his credentials.

High Praise from Former Players Fuels Excitement for Maresca Era

The appointment of Maresca has been met with enthusiasm within the footballing world. Leicester City midfielder Harry Winks, who played under him last season, heaped praise on his former manager, describing him as "incredible" and "the best manager I've worked for." Winks highlighted Maresca's exceptional tactical acumen and man-management skills, suggesting he possesses all the qualities to succeed at the highest level.

Maresca Set to Reshape Chelsea Backroom Staff

Maresca's arrival is expected to bring significant changes to Chelsea's backroom staff. Reports suggest he will bring a team of five coaches with him to West London, including former Chelsea goalkeeper Willy Caballero who retired last season to take up a coaching role at Leicester City. Danny Walker, Michele De Bernardin, Marcos Alvarez, and Javier Molina Caballero are also expected to make the move to Stamford Bridge.
