Chelsea Football Club and head coach Enzo Maresca have mutually agreed to part ways, the club announced on Thursday. The statement read, “During his time at the Club, Enzo led the team to success in the UEFA Conference League and the FIFA Club World Cup. Those achievements will remain an important part of the Club’s recent history, and we thank him for his contributions to the Club. Although Maresca enjoyed success in cup competitions, concerns over Chelsea’s league form and overall performances continued to mount, increasing pressure on both the coach and the club’s leadership. Those issues reportedly strained relations behind the scenes and raised doubts about his ability to continue in the role.
