Chelsea coach Enzo Maresca says he has full support from the club’s owners and directors. This comes even though fans are unhappy about results and playing style.
WHAT HAPPENED?
Maresca talked about his future after fans showed concern about the team’s style and performances. Chelsea have been inconsistent, recently drawing 2-2 with struggling Ipswich Town and losing to Legia in the Conference League, despite moving through in the competition. This result dropped them to sixth in the Premier League. Maresca insists that he has “unwavering support” from the owners and sporting directors. He stands by his philosophy, saying it will lead to long-term success. Even though fans are frustrated, he maintains “100%” belief in his approach.
CHELSEA’S SEASON SO FAR
Chelsea’s season has been up and down under Maresca. They started strong, with Maresca winning Premier League Manager of the Month in September, but results have been mixed since. As of mid-April, Chelsea have played 48 matches, with 27 wins, 9 draws, and 12 losses. They’ve scored 103 goals and conceded 53. They’re sixth in the league, risking their Champions League hopes in this tail-end of the season, but they’re doing well in the Europa Conference League. They will play the semi finals of the competition and remain the top contender to lift the trophy.
LOOKING AHEAD: WHAT’S NEXT FOR CHELSEA?
Chelsea will soon face Fulham for the Premier League as they try to guarantee European Football next season. They have also just beaten Legia, thanks to the 3-0 advantage they got on the first leg. Their next Premier League match is crucial, as they try to close the gap on the top teams. With fans losing patience, Maresca’s tactics are under fire. Chelsea need to progress in Europe and finish strong in the league. The club says they back Maresca, but future results will affect fan opinion and Maresca’s future.
