    Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca

    After working as assistant manager to Pep Guardiola at Manchester City, Enzo Maresca guided Leicester City to the Championship title and won the Europa Conference League with Chelsea.

    Maresca had a playing career spanning 11 different clubs in four different countries - Spain, England, Italy and Greece.

    Maresca won Serie A and the Supercoppa Italiana while playing for Juventus, but his most successful years came with Sevilla, where he won the Copa del Rey, UEFA Super Cup and UEFA Cup twice in his four-year stay.

    After stints as assistant manager at Ascoli, Sevilla and West Ham, the Italian coach's first role at Manchester City was in August 2020 when he was manager of their Elite Development Squad team.

    After winning the Premier League 2 title with the development squad, he was hired as the new head coach of Parma, who played in Serie B in the 2021/22 season.

    Despite working with players such as Gianluigi Buffon and Franco Vazquez, Maresca was unable to guide Parma into the promotion places and was dismissed on November 23, 2021.

    In June 2022, he returned to Manchester City as one of Guardiola's assistant coaches after Juanma Lillo left to become manager of Al-Sadd. At City, Maresca was part of the coaching staff that won the Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League Treble.

    Maresca was appointed manager of Leicester on June 16, 2023, after their relegation from the Premier League, and returned the Foxes to the top flight during his first season in charge.

    In June 2024, Maresca became the sixth coach to have managed Chelsea since Todd Boehly assumed control of the club in May 2022.

    During his first season in charge, he led Chelsea to glory in the 2025 Europa Conference League final and finished fourth in the Premier League.
