Chelsea has hired Enzo Maresca as its new head coach. Maresca was a former assistant to Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola and takes over after leading Leicester back to the Premier League. The 44-year-old Italian comes in on five-year deal as the replacement for Mauricio Pochettino. He is Chelsea's fourth permanent manager since the club came under American ownership midway through 2022. Maresca is four years into a coaching career that has included two spells at Manchester City. He was first a reserve-team coach for the 2020-21 season and then for the 2022-23 season was the assistant to Guardiola.
