Overview
- Chelsea’s slump to one win in seven league matches, leaving them fifth, has triggered serious internal talks over Enzo Maresca’s position.
- After the 2-2 draw with Bournemouth, Maresca skipped post-match media duties and, per Ben Jacobs, was not ill and is weighing his options.
- Accounts diverge on timing, with some reports saying no immediate sacking is planned and others expecting emergency talks and a likely separation.
- talkSPORT’s Alex Crook reports the main fallout is between Maresca and co-owner Behdad Eghbali, underscoring the breakdown in relations.
- Potential successors mentioned include Strasbourg manager Liam Rosenior and Xavi, with bookmakers shortening odds on the latter, according to multiple reports.
