Head Coach Enzo Maresca: Former champion Chelsea have officially parted ways with manager Enzo Maresca following a disappointing run in the Premier League 2025-26, with the West London club managing just one win from their last seven matches.
The six-time Premier League winners recently let another victory slip through their fingers at Stamford Bridge, drawing 2-2 with the Cherries. They are now placed fifth in the Premier League with 30 points and will face Manchester City on Sunday. Chelsea is also currently 13th in the UEFA Champions League group stage.
"Chelsea Football Club and Head Coach Enzo Maresca have parted company. During his time at the club, Enzo led the team to success in the UEFA Conference League and the FIFA Club World Cup. Those achievements will remain an important part of the club’s recent history, and we thank him for his contributions to the club," the statement from Chelsea read.
"With key objectives still to play for across four competitions, including qualification for Champions League football, Enzo and the club believe a change gives the team the best chance of getting the season back on track. We wish Enzo well for the future," it added.
Enzo Maresca was appointed Chelsea manager in July 2024. Under his stint, the West London club played 92 matches, and he recorded a strong tally of 55 wins. On May 28, 2025, Maresca won his first trophy as Chelsea manager by lifting the UEFA Conference League after beating Real Betis 4-1 in the final, which meant Chelsea became the only team to win all three of the current main UEFA competitions.
