Chelsea have confirmed Enzo Maresca as their new head coach, handing him a five-year contract with the option of a sixth in a massive show of faith for Mauricio Pochettino’s successor.
The Italian will officially start work on July 1, though he is already preparing for pre-season, having asked Chelsea’s data room to provide performance analysis on every player from youth level to first team.
The 44-year-old has also requested the information of each person with whom he will work at Chelsea’s training ground, and has started rewatching matches from the 2023-24 season under Pochettino while holidaying in Marbella.
