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.
