After winning the Conference and Club World Cup, Enzo resigns due to the interference of the American owners. The fact that he is the designated successor to Pep, who he would have challenged on Sunday, had an impact
The astrologer Paolo Fox put it a little: “Aquarius. In 2026 Uranus will influence significant changes in work”. Enzo Maresca, aquarius, lost his job on the first day of the year. “Agreed resolution,” explains Chelsea. The coach from Pontecagnano broke up with the American owners, Todd Lawrence Boehly and Behdad Eghbali. The speed of the epilogue is impressive. Only 172 days ago Maresca defeated PSG 3-0 in the World Cup final. On 12 December he was awarded as the best Premier manager of November: 30 days later, he is a coach to be hunted. In the summer of ’24 Maresca signed a 5-year plan to cultivate a young Chelsea. Forge ahead: immediately in the Champions League instead of the expected 2 years, triumph in the Conference and at the World Cup.

This year the problems: Palmer out for 2 months, preparation conditioned by the World Cup, the ups and downs of the young players, the collapse in the standings… After the 2-2 draw with Bournemouth, Eghbali warned him: “Righten the boat by January”. The 5 years of sowing reduced to an ultimatum of a few days. And since the co-owner also invades the technical area, Maresca gives up. It’s the Yankee approach: everything fast, fast win, fast food… Around Enzo they say instead: “You need patience if you want to eat artichokes”. Football is a crop that requires care over time. And competence. Business is still business, but the balls are different: segmented, oval… We too know about American-style messes. The day after tomorrow Maresca was supposed to challenge maestro Guardiola. Maybe he will replace him at City. This is also why Chelsea, who know it, have changed their mood. Uranus has nothing to do with it.
