Enzo Maresca has significantly impressed Chelsea supporters since his appointment as head coach in the summer. His influence has led to brilliant performances and equally impressive results thus far. Maresca is known for his perfectionist nature—always striving for more from both his players and himself. A testament to his relentless drive was a photo he uploaded on his Instagram page roughly 36 hours after Chelsea secured a 4-1 victory over Panathinaikos in Athens. The image was captioned:
Enzo Maresca said, “Work never stops.”
Many pundits anticipated that the intense atmosphere in Athens might affect the Chelsea squad, especially since the starting XI consisted mainly of fringe players. Contrary to these predictions, Chelsea excelled in the Greek capital, securing a confident win leading into the weekend’s Premier League match against Newcastle United. Maresca draws inspiration from the long-term successes of clubs such as Manchester City and Arsenal under their respective managers.
Enzo Maresca said, “I really don’t think that because we are not ready. The reason is that City has worked with the same manager for eight years and Arsenal for five years.”
The Italian manager reflects on the comments made by Luis Enrique following Arsenal’s triumph over PSG, emphasizing the importance of managerial stability for success. Despite some setbacks in the Premier League, where Chelsea has faced defeats, Maresca has demonstrated that his team can compete with the top contenders.
Enzo Maresca said, “After Arsenal beat PSG they asked Luis Enrique and he said the same thing that Arsenal have had the same manager for five years and them only a year and a half. Imagine us, only three months… so it’s a huge difference.”
Chelsea’s plan, according to football.london, emphasizes granting Maresca ample time to implement his strategies successfully, differing from historical approaches under current ownership. This approach aims for a stable and thriving Chelsea, more so than at any time under the ownership of Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital.
