Will Enzo Maresca take over as manager of Chelsea?Chelsea are reportedly getting closer to signing Italian coach Enzo Maresca to succeed Maurizio Pochettino at Stamford Bridge after having talks with the player. This information comes from Fabrizio Romano. Despite doubts about his Premier League expertise, Marseca appears to be the obvious favorite to lead the club next season.
Despite having won the Championship with Leicester City this season and ensuring their return to the top level, he will technically be a rookie manager in the Premier League next season. The Italian tactician is expected to be officially announced as Chelsea’s new manager in the next days. It will be intriguing to watch the progress he can make with this youthful team.
