Enzo Maresca has left his role as Chelsea head coach after 18 months in charge, the Premier League club announced Thursday. "Chelsea Football Club and head coach Enzo Maresca have parted company," said a club statement. Maresca said the days leading up to the 2-0 victory over Everton were "the worst 48 hours" of his time at Chelsea. His contract had been due to run until the summer of 2029, with a club option of a further year. Chelsea won the Europa Conference League and the Club World Cup in 2025 and Maresca also led them back into the Champions League.
