๐จ BREAKING: Enzo Maresca will be sacked if results donโt improve in January. #CFC
Maresca did not have to make those public comments about his worst 48 hours. Maresca has a very good squad and is not getting the best out of the players. Football is a results based business, especially at Chelsea.

๐ฃ๏ธ Assistant coach Willy Caballero on Chelseaโs 2-2 draw against Bournemouth [H] in the Premier League:
๐ค โIt was a difficult start but we have to deal with that. We have to improve that and we go into the next couple of games and also the whole second half of the season trying to improve that.
โIn another view we are creating and we are scoring goals, which is good, but we need to manage to find a way to win those points, to kill those games, because these are the games that weโre going to need to achieve our targets in the second half of the season.
โSometimes itโs details, sometimes itโs because the opponent finds a way to break through, to create those chances, but we need to find the kind of mentality to avoid losing or drawing that kind of game.
โWe invest a lot and today was a really good game in terms of playing how we play, how we want to get in the box. We created many chances, but unfortunately we have to think more about the start.โ
๐ค ๐๐ง ๐ฐ๐ก๐ฒ ๐๐จ๐ฅ๐ ๐๐๐ฅ๐ฆ๐๐ซ ๐ฐ๐๐ฌ ๐ฌ๐ฎ๐๐ฌ๐ญ๐ข๐ญ๐ฎ๐ญ๐๐:
โWe all want to have the best players on the pitch, but Cole is coming from a long injury as well, so we need to find the right substitutions to go for the game and also take care of the health of our players, because we want to have him for a long period and the rest of the season in every single game.โ

โWe need to correct that and we need to improve because there are many things that happen there.
โSometimes itโs how they move, how they go for the first contact but even though the second goal today was a deflection from our own players so there are many details that sometimes are very difficult to deal with in that scenario.โ

Chelsea head coach Enzo Maresca was not sick post-Bournemouth. He chose not to attend the post-match press conference because he is in the middle of making a decision as he considers his options at the club.
Itโs understood Maresca continues to be frustrated by aspects of the Chelsea project affecting his independence to make decisions and strategic elements donโt always align with how he wants to manage the team.
Maresca loves Chelsea as a club and its fanbase and relishes the pressure of delivering results, but he is struggling to work within certain conditions.

๐ โItโs been a crazy 24 hours, a whirlwind as you can imagine, but itโs also been really enjoyable and exciting. I can only be positive about it.

โWe will go there looking to give a good account of ourselves and trying to obtain a good result. Thatโs the brief and thatโs what we are working on.
โOf course, we know will be facing a good team, in good form and led by a great manager. But we have good players too and we will be going into the game being as positive as possible.โ

๐ Inside Enzo Marescaโs Chelsea exit - via The Athletic - part 1/4:
There was no emotional goodbye from Enzo Maresca in the Chelsea dressing room after the 2-2 draw with Bournemouth.
The Italian got changed and left without saying a word to his players.
Initial suggestions that he was ill were a smokescreen. People with knowledge of Marescaโs situation say he was determined to leave at that stage. Meanwhile, Chelseaโs patience had also run out following what took place after the final whistle.
The Chelsea players were unaware of what was going on but knew something might be afoot on their journey home from Stamford Bridge. They received a message that a scheduled recovery session on Wednesday, which was to be followed by a day off, was suddenly being changed to two days off.
Talks took place on New Yearโs Eve between Marescaโs agent Jorge Mendes and Chelsea over his departure instead. Some sources have said that Maresca resigned; other people at the club say the decision was taken by them.
The only thing to resolve now that he has left, with three and a half years left on his contract, was the level of compensation. Itโs understood his deal will not be paid up in full and the settlement will not have a negative financial impact on the club.
Chelsea had given Maresca two votes of confidence before things went sour. One of those occasions was in the days after the 2-1 defeat at Atalanta on December 9, when he was assured his job was not at risk after he had conveyed concerns about what would happen if they lost their next match to Everton.
There had been some outbursts which did not go down well during his tenure. Just one example of this was talking about the club needing to buy a central defender following Levi Colwillโs anterior cruciate ligament injury in August.
While Maresca was consulted on transfers, his job was primarily to take charge of the team. He was told to use the several defenders he had.
Sources say this was a cause of angst between both parties for a while, although it dissipated. People with knowledge of Chelseaโs actions add that they did look for another defender but could not find a suitable candidate.
