Maresca Under Pressure at Chelsea as Win Drought Makes January Pivotal

Sky Sports says his position could hinge on a nine-game January.

Overview

  • Chelsea have won just one of their past seven Premier League games, including a 2-2 home draw with Bournemouth that was met with boos.
  • Sky Sports reports he may not see out January without an upturn in results, with nine matches scheduled across four competitions.
  • The Telegraph, as cited by other outlets, reports strain with the ownership and says signs point to a possible summer departure, with an earlier change not ruled out if form worsens.
  • Maresca has dismissed links to Manchester City as "100 per cent speculation" and emphasized he is under contract at Chelsea until 2029.
  • Chelsea are fifth in the league and 10 points behind City, with players given two days off before training resumes for Sunday’s trip to the Etihad.
