After a 2-2 draw with Bournemouth, Chelsea and Enzo Maresca ended their partnership.
The Italian specialist did not attend the post-match press conference; his assistant spoke in his place.
According to Idman.Biz, citing The Athletic, Maresca changed his clothes after the game and left without saying a word to the players. Initial reports of illness have not been confirmed. Sources inside claim that the coach was determined to leave at that time.
Chelsea management has decided to end their partnership. The club initially planned a two-year evaluation of Maresca's performance but ended it early. Chelsea players were unaware of the situation but began to suspect it on their way home from Stamford Bridge. They soon received news that the planned recovery session had been replaced with a two-day break.
The amount of compensation is still in question as his current contract is for another three and a half years. Sources say the contract fee will not be paid in full, and the deal will not have a negative financial impact on the club. Chelsea's strategy of signing head coaches to five-year contracts and terminating the contract early on terms favorable to the club remains in effect.
