Guardiola’s Assistant Eyed for Chelsea Hot Seat

Chelsea Target Guardiola’s Right-Hand Man

Chelsea are reportedly eyeing Leicester City manager Enzo Maresca as a potential replacement for Mauricio Pochettino.

The Blues are seeking permission to speak with the Italian tactician, who has impressed in his first season at the King Power Stadium, guiding the club back to the Premier League.

Maresca’s previous role as Pep Guardiola’s assistant at Manchester City aligns with Chelsea’s desire for a possession-based, collaborative coach who can compete with their Premier League rivals.

The club’s ownership group, led by Behdad Eghbali, will oversee the managerial search.
