Former Manchester United Boss Erik Ten Hag has been appointed as Chelsea New Coach after the SACKING of Enzo Maresca from the Club
Maresca has found himself at odds with Chelsea’s leadership ever since his peculiar comments following the Everton victory on December 13, when he declared he had endured the “worst 48 hours” of his tenure.
His unwillingness to clarify the nature of the issue, whether through internal channels or public statements, only served to intensify the frustration among club executives.
The club announced Maresca’s departure through a brief 99-word statement.
The statement declared: “Chelsea Football Club and head coach Enzo Maresca have parted company.”
Maresca proceeded to indicate that he wasn’t getting adequate “support” from individuals within his circle, though he deliberately avoided identifying the specific parties involved. Considering Chelsea’s well-documented pattern of hiring and firing managers, his comments have likely caused unease among senior officials.
An intriguing candidate, Erik ten Hag was relieved of his duties at Manchester United during the previous campaign, despite securing both the League Cup and FA Cup trophies while managing the Red Devils. His spell with Bundesliga club Bayer Leverkusen concluded under unusual circumstances, with his contract terminated after merely two league fixtures.
While this track record may give Chelsea pause for concern, Ten Hag presents himself as an economical appointment with proven capability of delivering silverware, positioning him as a possible candidate for the Blues’ managerial vacancy.
