Romano: Maresca is not in danger of being fired in the near future, Chelsea is very satisfied with him

According to Fabrizio Romano, Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca is not in danger of being sacked for the time being.

Maresca, 45, has served as an assistant coach under Florin, Montella, Pellegrini and Guardiola, and will coach Leicester City from 2023 to 2024. After leading Leicester back to the Premier League as the Championship champion, he became the head coach of Chelsea, with a total of 21 wins, 7 draws and 9 losses so far.

Chelsea's recent performance has declined, and they are currently ranked sixth in the Premier League with 12 wins, 7 draws and 6 losses, with 43 points. They were also eliminated from the English League Cup and FA Cup by Newcastle United and Brighton, and their only hope of winning the championship this season is the European Cup.

Despite this, Maresca still has the firm support of Chelsea's top management. According to Romano, Chelsea's goal this season is not to compete for the Champions League qualification, but to focus on the development in the next two years. They believe that Maresca has brought positive influence to the team in terms of management, tactics and even psychology, and are very satisfied with his coaching performance. Even in the face of injuries and winter transfer challenges, the club is still optimistic about Maresca's long-term coaching prospects.

Regardless, Maresca will continue to play a central role in Chelsea's long-term planning. He has confirmed that he will be fully involved in the formulation of transfer plans and will devote 100% of his energy to preparations for this summer transfer window. The summer transfer window is crucial for Chelsea, and the club will continue to rely on Maresca's leadership and decision-making in the future squad reconstruction.
