Chelsea are reportedly considering a move for Italian manager Enzo Maresca as a replacement for Mauricio Pochettino.
Enzo Maresca has done an impressive job at Leicester City, and he has guided them back to the Premier League this season. The 44-year-old is likely to be tempted if Chelsea come calling with a concrete proposal, and it remains to be seen how the situation develops.
According to HITC, the Italian tactician has impressed the Chelsea hierarchy with his managerial exploits at the King Power Stadium. However, moving to the Premier League is a major upgrade and a mighty challenge. It will be interesting to see if the 44-year-old manager is willing to take up the challenge and join Chelsea.
The West Londoners are one of the biggest clubs in the world, and the opportunity to manage them can be hard to turn down. Chelsea have had two disappointing seasons, and they have not been able to secure Champions League qualification.
The BLues will be hoping to bounce back strongly and push for major trophies next season. There is no doubt that they have a quality squad at their disposal, and bringing in a quality manager could make a huge difference.
Can Maresca improve Chelsea?
The 44-year-old Italian manager has shown his quality in the EFL Championship, and he might be able to get the best out of the Chelsea squad. The Blues have a number of quality players at their disposal. But Mauricio Pochettino was not able to get the best out of his players this season. It will be interesting to see who Chelsea end up with.
The Blues have been linked with a number of managers in recent weeks, and Maresca is not the only name on the shortlist. Recent reports have also linked the West London club with Vincent Kompany.
Chelsea have spent substantial amounts of money in recent seasons, and they will be hoping to see results on the pitch now. Maresca will be expected to turn things around immediately and help them compete at the highest level. It will be interesting to see if the Italian manager can come in, identify the problems within the squad and solve them.
