Why Chelsea chiefs love Maresca

It has not been a perfect first season and a bit in charge of the Blues for Maresca, however there have been plenty of positives that the club chiefs have noted about their head coach.

There is a strong connection between the players and manager, and he has managed through a number of unique and difficult scenarios.

One of those has been the team’s poor discipline. The Blues have been plagued by three Premier League red cards to players, with Maresca getting one himself.

However, Chelsea chiefs loved Maresca’s passion and reaction to what was clearly their biggest win of the season, and there were no issues following his suspension as the Blues beat Nottingham Forest 3-0 as he watched on from the stands.
