Leicester City head coach Enzo Maresca is set to be signed as the next Chelsea manager.

The Chelsea board were impressed with Enzo Maresca’s detailed plans for star midfielder Enzo Fernandez.

Chelsea paid well over £100m to sign Fernandez, but the Argentine has struggled to live up to his transfer fee, despite his potential.

In fact Chelsea’s fine run of form coincided with Enzo Fernandez’s absence from the team.

Enzo Maresca plans to optimize Enzo Fernandez performance, and has proposed several tactical shifts to unlock the midfielder’s full potential.

This presentation positioned Maresca as a strong candidate to replace Mauricio Pochettino as Chelsea’s head coach.

Maresca’s commitment to the role of head coach rather than manager also appealed to the decision-makers, reports by The Evening Standard claims.
