After months of hard work, Enzo Maresca has been unanimously appointed as the new head coach of Chelsea by sporting directors Paul Winstanley and Laurence Stewart. The 44-year-old Italian, who previously worked under Pep Guardiola at Manchester City and managed Parma, was chosen over Mauricio Pochettino and three other candidates.
Maresca is known for his highly data-driven approach to coaching and his ability to work within a club’s structure. He has already requested player profiles from the data department and is eager to start improving players and preparing for matches. The new coach is set to officially start on 1 July and will be joined by academy players like Tyrique George and Josh Acheampong for pre-season training.
Chelsea is excited about Maresca’s tactical approach and believes that his association with Guardiola will bring a positive impact to the team. The club aims to build on their success in the upcoming season, with the new coaching staff ready to lead them towards greater heights.
