Chelsea have announced the appointment of Enzo Maresca as the club’s new head coach.
The former Leicester City boss has put pen to paper on a five-year deal, with the option for the club to extend his stay for another year.
Maresca replaces Mauricio Pochettino, who left Chelsea by mutual consent last month after just one season in charge.
The Italian oversaw Leicester’s promotion back to the Premier League at the first attempt in 2023-24, the Foxes topping the Championship table with 98 points.
