JAKARTA - Chelsea is almost certain to recruit Enzo Maresca, Leicester City Manager and former Pep Guardiola assistant. Chelsea are also ready to pay compensation to Leicester for 10 million after Maresca officially joins.
Maresca only has the capital to win the Champioship, which has attracted Chelsea. Especially with the label of former Guardiola assistants.
Like Mikel Arteta, who had been an assistant manager at Manchester City, he was then considered successful in coaching Arsenal even though he had just given the Community Shield trophy.
Chelsea also chose to release Mauricio Pochettino who began to give results in polishing Cole Palmer et al.
Even the Blues managed to break through sixth place by beating Manchester United who closed the competition in eighth place.
Chelsea only continued to fire Pochettino. A number of candidates appeared like Kieran McKenna who successfully brought Ipswich Town to promotion to the English Premier League, former manager Brighton and Hove Albion Roberto De Zerbi and Thomas Frank, Brentford manager.
Maresca was finally chosen. His performance even though it was only one season at Leicester was quite convincing. He brought the Foxes back to the Premier League after winning 31 of the 46 Championship matches.
Previously, he was Guardiola's assistant and played a role as Man City won the treble 2023 season. This success led to the 44-year-old manager being recruited by Leicester.
Chelsea will give a long five-year contract. Even the Italian man who has handled Parma will get additional options until 2030.
Maresca plans to bring former Chelsea goalkeeper Willy Caballero as an assistant. Caballero was the coating goalkeeper at Chelsea for four years 2017 to 2021.
