Chelsea’s performance has dramatically declined under Enzo Maresca, with a stark drop in win rates and inconsistent results jeopardising their Champions League ambitions.
Chelsea’s fortunes have taken a turn for the worse under manager Enzo Maresca, as the team’s progress has stalled following a promising early season. Prior to Christmas, Chelsea boasted a 67% win rate, but since then that figure has plummeted to just 33%, coinciding with the loss of key players like Wesley Fofana and Romeo Lavia. Maresca’s approach, which once promised a gradual improvement in form, now appears to be failing, with disappointing results such as a 3-1 defeat to Manchester City in the rematch of an earlier 2-0 loss, and a lacklustre display against Brighton at the Amex Stadium.
The stagnation in performance has raised concerns over Chelsea’s ability to secure a top-four finish, especially as clubs like Manchester City, Newcastle, and Bournemouth are closing in. While the club’s long-term silverware hopes lie in the UEFA Conference League, the current form indicates that without a significant turnaround, Chelsea risk slipping further down the table. The overall criticism is not directed solely at Maresca but extends to broader issues in squad management and strategic planning, suggesting that changes at the top of the club may be necessary to restore stability and ambition.
