Chelsea Boss Maresca’s Job Not at Risk Despite Rocky Start

Club hierarchy maintains confidence in manager amid injury crisis and mixed results

Chelsea’s leadership is standing firmly behind manager Enzo Maresca despite the team’s inconsistent start to the season, according to a Daily Mail report. The Blues have managed two wins, two draws, and two losses in their opening Premier League matches, accompanied by two red cards.

Club officials are taking a measured approach to evaluating the team’s performance, considering both the disciplinary issues and a significant injury crisis that has sidelined key players including Cole Palmer and Liam Delap. The report indicates “Blues bosses have complete confidence in their head coach” to improve the team’s form.

The coming week presents major challenges for Chelsea, beginning with a Champions League clash against José Mourinho’s Benfica at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday, followed by a Premier League encounter with Arne Slot’s Liverpool on Saturday. The club maintains that Champions League qualification remains a primary objective this season, along with strong performances in cup competitions.

Chelsea’s leadership appears to be drawing confidence from last season’s experience, when the team overcame a prolonged slump to win the Conference League and Club World Cup while securing a top-four finish. This history of recovering from difficult starts seems to be informing the club’s current patience with their manager’s performance.
