Chelsea’s decision to hire Enzo Maresca as the new head coach was influenced by a variety of strategic and tactical considerations.

Here are ten reasons why Chelsea made this choice:

1) Guardiola Influence and Coaching Tree:

Maresca’s experience under Pep Guardiola at Manchester City, where he served as an assistant during their treble-winning season, added significant weight to his candidacy.

Chelsea value the tactical insights and modern footballing philosophy he absorbed from working closely with one of the best coaches in the world.

2) Playing Style and Philosophy:

Chelsea was looking for a coach whose style and philosophy align with their vision of football.

Maresca’s preference for a patient, possession-based game that aims to control matches aligns well with Chelsea’s aspirations to play attractive, dominant football.
