Enzo Maresca at Chelsea
On January 1, 2026, Enzo Maresca resigned as head coach of Chelsea due to a breakdown in his relationship with the board and subpar performance, which included only one victory in his final seven Premier League games. The Italian left 18 months into a five-year contract, despite winning the Conference League and Club World Cup.
After this exit, the club appointed former Strastbourg manager Liam Rosenior but he was fired after just three months of bad and inconsistent performances as the World Champions failed to win seven (7) consecutive premier league matches. After Rosenior’s exit, interim coach Callum McFallane has taken over but unable to take the team out of the ruins as they currently languish in ninth position with only two games to go.’
This means that the team might not play in Europe next season.
