“Maresca Plans Aggressive Approach at Chelsea”, New Chelsea coach Enzo Maresca has set his sights on injecting a new level of aggression into the team as he seeks to reverse the fortunes of last season’s Premier League under-achievers. Recognizing the need for a more assertive approach on the pitch, Maresca aims to foster a proactive style of play that combines intensity, determination, and tactical discipline. His strategy is geared towards revitalizing Chelsea’s performance, aiming to establish a formidable presence in the league once again.
Twice Champions League winners, Chelsea spent much of the season in mid-table obscurity before a late resurgence under former manager Mauricio Pochettino propelled them to sixth place, securing a spot in the Europa Conference League.
Maresca, 44, steered Leicester City to promotion to the English top flight in his debut season as manager.
“On Monday, Maresca remarked, ‘At this moment, when you join a club, you try to analyze what the club and team need to improve and do the right things.'”
“We are going to try to be an aggressive team both on the ball and off it. We need to create a strong connection between the fans and the club, particularly at home.”
Maresca becomes Chelsea’s seventh Italian manager, aiming to emulate compatriots Carlo Ancelotti, Antonio Conte, and Roberto Di Matteo, who collectively won six major trophies during their stints at the London club
Gianluca Vialli, the Premier League’s first Italian manager, led Chelsea to their first appearance in the Champions League.
“One of the reasons for sure (I joined). I’m very proud to be an Italian manager here again. Probably there is something between Chelsea as a club, as a family, and Italian people that works well,” Maresca said.
