Chelsea director Jonathan Goldstein has publicly backed head coach Enzo Maresca, stating that he is “100 per cent” safe in his job for the remainder of the season despite the club’s recent poor form.
Speaking on Bloomberg TV, Chelsea board member Jonathan Goldstein gave full backing to Enzo Maresca, dismissing speculation over a managerial change. Despite Chelsea’s recent struggles—winning just two of their last nine Premier League matches and slipping to sixth place—Goldstein remains optimistic about the club’s trajectory.
Maresca, who signed a five-year contract in July, has maintained that Chelsea are ahead of schedule in their rebuild, with Champions League qualification originally planned as a two-year goal. Internally, the club still believes they can secure a top-four finish, even after their recent setbacks.
Chelsea’s ownership group, which has invested over £1.2 billion in transfers since 2022, views Champions League qualification as a crucial milestone in their long-term strategy. However, with mounting pressure from fans and ongoing injury issues, Maresca will need to turn results around quickly to justify the board’s faith in him.
