Revealed: Maresca Left Chelsea Squad After Draw with Bournemouth

Enzo Maresca Abruptly Exits Chelsea Following Bournemouth Stalemate

Maresca’s Disappointing Departure

Enzo Maresca expressed dissatisfaction with his squad after Chelsea’s disappointing 2-2 tie against Bournemouth this past week at Stamford Bridge.

Silent Exit

According to reports from The Athletic, during his final match at the helm of Chelsea, Maresca chose to change quickly and leave the venue without addressing anyone.

Assistant Coach Steps In

As a result, it was left to assistant coach Willy Caballero to handle media responsibilities post-match and engage with the roster.

Decision to Depart

Sources indicate that Maresca’s choice to forgo communication was driven by his intentions to resign, which he had already resolved to do prior to the match.

Official Announcement

On Thursday, both Maresca and Chelsea’s management confirmed their separation. Discussions involving Maresca’s representative, Jorge Mendes, and Chelsea officials occurred on New Year’s Eve, with his departure being made official the next day.
