Chelsea’s new manager
In the wake of Maresca’s exit from Leicester City, Chelsea Football Club made headlines by appointing him as their new manager, replacing Mauricio Pochettino at Stamford Bridge. The 44-year-old Italian coach has signed a five-year deal with the option of extending for a sixth year, showcasing the club’s commitment to stability and long-term planning under his leadership.

Maresca has already expressed his excitement about joining Chelsea, stating that it is a dream come true to manage one of the biggest clubs in the world.
As Maresca settles into his new role at Chelsea, he is expected to bring his team, including former Leicester City goalkeeper Willy Caballero, who is set to return to Stamford Bridge. The new manager has also appointed Ben Roberts as the head of global goalkeeping and Bernardo Cueva to lead the set-piece department, indicating his desire to implement his coaching philosophy at the club.
Leicester City’s future without Maresca remains uncertain, and the club will now need to focus on finding a suitable replacement who can build on the foundations laid by the departing manager. While Maresca’s departure may have come as a surprise to some, it presents an opportunity for Leicester City to take a fresh approach and look towards a new era under new leadership.
