Enzo Maresca has a huge job on his hand to transform the Chelsea team, as Chelsea have regressed since Roman Abramovich lost ownership of the club.

Amid reports of a feud between the Chelsea co-owners, former Chelsea star Joe Cole, has said they have ended up making the job more difficult for Enzo Maresca.

“I think that clearly at the club, it’s disjointed,” Joe Cole told TNT Sports about the situation at Chelsea.

“There are different factions going on, and that will filter down. It’s just the case of how much.

“The job of Enzo Maresca has just got harder, because all of them players, the 40 odd players within that club who are probably wondering, is my future at Chelsea? Is it away?

“There’ll be a huge amount of uncertainty, and that just ramps that up with the fans, with the players.

“You need your ownership group to be one force, whatever that force may be, and often fans don’t agree with the vision and where they’re going, but at least you know we’re going in that direction.

“With Chelsea, we don’t know which direction we’re going in, so that needs to be ironed out and sorted as soon as possible to give Enzo the best chance to get the results on the pitch.”
