Chelsea FC Manager Enzo Maresca has been sacked this early morning after not winning his last three Premier League Games his replacement has been named
Reports are emerging from journalists gathered in Chelsea’s press room, where they had been waiting to hear from Enzo Maresca, that the Chelsea manager will not be fulfilling his post-match media obligations this evening.

The Daily Mail’s Kieran Gill took to Twitter to share: “Enzo Maresca will not be conducting post-match interviews for #CFC tonight as we’re told he’s feeling unwell.”
With a draw that leaves his team having managed just one league victory in their last seven outings, it appears we won’t be hearing from the coach this evening.
This surely seems to be a case of pure frustration on the manager’s part, who evidently cannot face the prospect of fielding more questions from the media about how this season is spiraling out of control.
We don’t anticipate this is because he’s been dismissed immediately after the final whistle – though that scenario isn’t entirely off the table. Of course, speculation about a potential sacking is spreading like wildfire. However, we remain skeptical – if the club were planning to terminate his position, they wouldn’t resort to such a transparent fabrication. Besides, we don’t believe he’s currently under any immediate threat of dismissal.
We’ve also had an inkling that this kind of behavior might become more commonplace. We witnessed Pep Guardiola skip a press conference a couple of weeks ago without offering any explanation, simply delegating the responsibility to Kolo Toure instead. The broadcasters will inevitably voice their displeasure eventually, but clearly managers feel they can get away with these absences.
And really, who’s to say he isn’t genuinely ill? It’s certainly within the realm of possibility…
On another note…
Estevao proved to be the shining light for Chelsea in this match, showcasing electric dribbling skills and consistently taking on defenders, establishing himself as comfortably our most dangerous attacking player.
Chelsea’s two goals came courtesy of Cole Palmer, who converted a penalty following one of Estevao’s mesmerizing dribbles, and Enzo Fernandez, who unleashed a powerful strike into the top corner from distance.
