Leicester City’s manager, Enzo Maresca, is set to become the new manager of Chelsea. Maresca has been instrumental in Leicester’s recent success, guiding the team back to the Premier League after they won the EFL Championship.
Maresca, known for his tactical skills and effective management of players like Kelechi Iheanacho and Wilfred Ndidi, has caught the eye of Chelsea’s owner, Todd Boehly. Chelsea’s management is keen on bringing him on board, and they are close to finalizing a contract with the Italian coach.
According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Maresca is likely to sign either a two-year deal with an option for an additional year or a straight three-year deal. The 44-year-old has agreed in principle to join Chelsea, pending an agreement on compensation between Chelsea and Leicester City.
Maresca’s recent achievements have placed him ahead of other candidates like Brentford’s Thomas Frank and Brighton’s Roberto De Zerbi, who were also considered for the Chelsea job.
Maresca’s potential appointment reflects Chelsea’s confidence in his ability to bring success to the club, following his impressive turnaround of Leicester City. The official announcement is expected soon, pending final negotiations.
