Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca has been relieved of his position just a little over a year after taking the job due to disagreements with the club’s board.
This brings days of speculation to a climax following a drift between the manager and the club’s hierarchy that has climaxed this season.
Maresca argues the club has not protected him enough from external criticism, hence the decision. Official confirmation is set to come within the coming days.
During his time at the Club, Maresca led the team to success in the UEFA Conference League and the FIFA Club World Cup.
Bournemouth manager Andoni Iraola and Strasbourg’s Liam Rossenoir have been tipped to replace Maresca as Chelsea manager.
