Enzo Maresco asked Chelsea’s owners to give him time as he prepares for first game in charge at Stamford Bridge
Enzo Maresca has pleaded with Chelsea’s owners to be given time in the job as the club’s fifth manager of the Todd Boehly / Clearlake Capital era prepares for his first game in charge on Sunday. The Italian has the daunting task of beginning his reign at Stamford Bridge with a visit by the champions, Manchester City, although will at least have some familiar faces in the visiting dugout as he was previously on Pep Guardiola’s coaching staff at the Etihad Stadium.
“Sometimes it sounds like an excuse. But at the end, in our case, because of the process and the idea, I am 100% sure this team is getting better game after game.” “For sure we need their support in any case because when you are on the pitch and you can hear the support, it’s like a 12th player,” Maresca said. “If they support us and are patient, we will pay them back with performances and results.
Unlike Pochettino last season Maresca has a largely fit squad, with his biggest problem likely to be having too many players to call upon rather than too few.
