Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca is facing increasing pressure following a dismal 3-0 defeat to Brighton, raising concerns over his ability to turn the team's form around amidst growing fan unrest.
Enzo Maresca’s Chelsea tenure has hit a critical moment after a humiliating loss to Brighton, drawing parallels to Graham Potter’s struggles before his eventual dismissal. The Italian manager’s side was outplayed and outclassed, failing to register a shot on target for the first time since 2021. Injuries have contributed to Chelsea’s struggles, but fans are growing restless, with many walking out early and chanting for former owner Roman Abramovich.
Maresca's inability to rally the squad after setbacks is becoming a worrying trend, with Chelsea failing to win away from home in the league since December. Dressing room tensions are also rising, with players showing frustration and discontent on the pitch. Despite backing from the club’s hierarchy, the pressure is mounting, and Maresca must find quick solutions to avoid following the fate of his predecessor.
