[Saba Sports News] The Premier League season has concluded, and with its end, Mauricio Pochettino, the coach of Premier League team Chelsea, has also resigned. The discussion around who will be the next coach for Chelsea has become a hot topic. It has been reported that Chelsea is highly interested in Enzo Maresca, the coach of Premier League team Leicester City. However, since Maresca has a contract with Leicester City, Chelsea would need to pay compensation in order to acquire him. It is rumored that Chelsea may offer Maresca a contract of 2+1 or 3 years, and they are willing to pay Leicester City £10 million in compensation. Maresca, who previously played as a midfielder for teams such as Juventus, Bologna, and Fiorentina, retired in 2017 at the age of 37. After retiring, he transitioned to coaching and served as an assistant coach at Sevilla and West Ham. In July 2023, Maresca became the head coach of Leicester City and led the team to win the Championship, securing their promotion to the Premier League.
