Chelsea: Benjamin Šeško and Michael Olise are top priorities

New season and new work ahead for Chelsea. Succeeding in his mission by bringing Leicester back into the English elite, Enzo Maresca saw his rating rise and Chelsea logically quickly positioned themselves for the succession of Mauricio Pochettino. Leicester did not object to his departure and this is how he landed in London for five years and an amount of around 12 million euros. A fan of the game of possession and quite comfortable with young players, he has plenty to enjoy on the Blues side with a project that aims to be long-term: “Chelsea Football Club is pleased to announce the appointment of Enzo Maresca as Head Coach of the men’s team. The Italian will take up his position on July 1, 2024 on a five-year contract, with an option for an additional year..
