The Italian tactician will take the helm starting July 1, 2024, on a five-year contract, with the club retaining the option to extend the agreement for an additional year.

Maresca’s appointment marks a significant step for Chelsea as they aim to bolster their position in both domestic and international competitions. The decision to bring in the 44-year-old coach came after an exhaustive search and thorough discussions between Maresca and Chelsea’s top brass.

Laurence Stewart and Paul Winstanley, the club’s co-sporting directors, expressed their enthusiasm over the new addition to the coaching staff.

“We are delighted to welcome Enzo to Chelsea,” they stated. “He has proven himself to be an excellent coach capable of delivering impressive results with an exciting and identifiable style.”

They further highlighted Maresca’s alignment with the club’s ethos and long-term vision.

“Enzo has deeply impressed us in our discussions leading up to his appointment. His ambitions and work ethic align with those of the club. We thoroughly look forward to working with him.”

Maresca, who has a rich coaching background, brings a blend of tactical acumen and motivational prowess to Stamford Bridge. His previous stints include notable successes and a reputation for developing a dynamic and attacking style of play.

The club’s statement also emphasised their confidence in Maresca’s ability to lead the team to new heights, fostering both competitive success and the growth of young talent.
