Chelsea Football Club acknowledges the recent comments made by former head coach Enzo Maresca in an interview, where he reflected fondly on his time at Stamford Bridge and the achievements during his tenure.**
Maresca, who led Chelsea from June 2024 until his departure earlier this season, spoke candidly about his experiences. "To be honest my time at Chelsea was great, it was a beautiful start you know? I love everything about Chelsea," he stated. He highlighted the unexpected nature of his appointment: "When I was contacted about the job, I didn't know it was going to be possible for me to be the selected one, because there was umm Luis Enrique and Julian Nagelsmann on the lists of the managers they were looking for. So lucky I got appointed."
The Italian coach also praised the successes during his first year: "I must say I love my first one year at the club because we won two major trophies". Under Maresca's guidance, Chelsea secured the UEFA Conference League and returned to the UEFA Champions League, marking a period of notable progress for the squad.
However, Maresca expressed disappointment over the circumstances leading to his exit: "I thought I was going to be there for a long time, but unfortunately that is no more. When you don't feel supported at your job, it's better to quit and find a new challenge". He concluded by hinting at future plans: "For now I'm just taking some time to rest and refresh on my last job before I fully take over the new one which I'm sorry, won't say to you now. But you'll see me soon."
Current Head Coach Liam Rosenior responded to Maresca's remarks: "Enzo did a tremendous job laying foundations for our current success. We wish him all the best in his next chapter and appreciate his contributions to Chelsea."
The club remains focused on the ongoing 2025/26 season, building on the momentum established under previous leadership while pursuing objectives in the Premier League, UEFA Champions League, and domestic cups.
