Idman.Biz reports with reference to "Telegrafi" that in recent days the name of the Spanish specialist has become one of the most talked about in the London club's personnel planning.
According to reports, the Chelsea management is closely monitoring the future prospects and possible career changes of head coach Enzo Maresca.
