Done deal: Maresca to take over at Chelsea | OneFootball

Chelsea have reportedly reached a total agreement with Enzo Maresca, who’ll become the new head coach of the Blues.

The Premier League giants have been on the hunt for a new head coach for a few weeks now after deciding to part ways with Mauricio Pochettino, a move that confused supporters in West London considering their uptick in form in the second half of the season.

Maresca quickly emerged as one of the primary candidates to take over, with Chelsea appreciating his work in the Championship with Leicester City, guiding them back up to the Premier League in his debut campaign.

As reported by Fabrizio Romano, Chelsea have now reached an agreement to appoint Maresca as their next head coach, willing to pay the compensation fee to Leicester to secure his signature.

A five-year contract with an option for a sixth has been agreed with the 44-year-old Italian coach, who’ll soon be announced by the West London side.
