Breaking: Chelsea Appoints Enzo Maresca As New Manager
Enzo Maresca, the 44-year-old Leicester manager, was appointed as Chelsea’s new manager on Monday, signing a five-year contract to succeed Mauricio Pochettino, who departed by mutual consent last month.
“We are delighted to welcome Enzo to Chelsea,” said Laurence Stewart and Paul Winstanley, Chelsea’s co-sporting directors.
“He has proven himself to be an excellent coach capable of delivering impressive results with an exciting and identifiable style.
“Enzo has deeply impressed us in our discussions leading up to his appointment. His ambitions and work ethic align with those of the club.”
Maresca will begin his new role on July 1 on a five-year contract, with a club option of a further year.
“To join Chelsea, one of the biggest clubs in the world, is a dream for any coach,” he said. “It is why I am so excited by this opportunity.
“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 led Leicester to the Championship title in his first season, joining the club in June 2023.
Despite a tumultuous season that saw Chelsea finish mid-table, the team won their last five games to qualify for the Europa Conference League and also reached the League Cup final and FA Cup semi-finals.
Maresca becomes the sixth coach to manage Chelsea’s first team since Todd Boehly’s Clearlake Capital consortium acquired the club two years ago, during which time the club has spent over £1 billion on player signings.
