Chelsea Football Club has announced the appointment of Enzo Maresca as their new head coach on a five-year contract. Maresca, who previously managed Leicester City to a Championship win, is set to implement a modern, possession-based style of football at Chelsea. His coaching staff will include former goalkeeper Willy Caballero, Danny Walker, Michele De Bernardin, Marcos Alvarez, Javi Molina, and Roberto Vitiello, with Ben Roberts appointed as the head of global goalkeeping. The club's ownership group, led by Todd Boehly, expressed confidence in Maresca's ability to fulfill their vision and expectations. Maresca faces several immediate tasks, including managing player transfers and integrating new signings like Michael Olise and Tosin Adarabioyo. Additionally, he will need to address the futures of existing players such as Cole Palmer and Roberto Sánchez. The appointment is seen as a gamble by some, but Chelsea believes it is a calculated risk worth taking.
