Despite Chelsea’s poor form and their recent 3-0 loss to Brighton, the club’s hierarchy remains supportive of Enzo Maresca, believing he is ahead of schedule in his project at Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea’s slump in form has raised concerns about Enzo Maresca’s future, but reports suggest that the club’s owners remain confident in his long-term vision. While the 3-0 defeat to Brighton—dubbed their worst performance of the season—has frustrated fans, the board views the season’s progress positively, as Maresca was not expected to achieve Champions League qualification until next season.
Despite dropping to sixth in the table, Chelsea have spent most of the season in the top four and are only one point behind Manchester City. Injuries have also been a factor, with Nicolas Jackson, Romeo Lavia, and Wesley Fofana among those sidelined.
However, the pressure is growing, with pundits like Jamie Carragher insisting that failure to qualify for the Champions League would be a disaster, given the club’s huge transfer spending. Fans also voiced their frustration during the Brighton defeat, chanting for former owner Roman Abramovich and leaving the stadium early.
Chelsea’s next game, a crucial away fixture against Aston Villa, presents an opportunity for Maresca to turn things around before the situation worsens.
With Chelsea’s season in danger of unravelling, Maresca must find solutions quickly to avoid further speculation over his future.
