Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca’s future at the club has been called into question after he expressed frustration over a lack of support from within the club. Following the team’s 2-0 win over Everton in the Premier League on December 13, Maresca stated that he had experienced the “worst 48 hours” since his appointment as head coach in 2024. He did not specify who he felt was not supporting him, but emphasized his appreciation for the club’s fans.
Maresca’s comments have sparked speculation about his position at Stamford Bridge, with some suggesting that his tenure may be under scrutiny. Former Chelsea player Cesc Fabregas has been touted as a potential replacement, with ex-Pro Clinton Morrison believing he would be a suitable candidate. Fabregas is currently the head coach of Italian club Como, where he has been doing a commendable job since his appointment in 2024.
Fabregas has previously spoken about the Chelsea project under the ownership of Todd Boehly, praising the club’s investment in young players. He noted that the team has been making progress, but needs to take a higher step next season. As a former Chelsea player, Fabregas has a deep understanding of the club, having spent five years with the Blues and winning two Premier League titles, among other honors.
Maresca, on the other hand, has had a successful stint as Chelsea manager, leading the team to victories in the UEFA Europa Conference League and the FIFA Club World Cup last season. However, his recent comments have raised concerns about his relationship with the club’s hierarchy. The situation is being closely monitored, with many waiting to see how it will unfold.
Chelsea’s 2-0 win over Everton marked an end to a four-game winless run across competitions, but Maresca’s comments have shifted the focus to his future at the club. As the situation develops, it remains to be seen whether Maresca will continue as Chelsea manager or if the club will explore other options, including potentially appointing Cesc Fabregas as his replacement.
