"It's been a crazy 24 hours, a whirlwind, as you can imagine, but also really enjoyable and really exciting. I can only feel positive about it. It's an amazing experience."
"The team needs to be ready and prepared and our role is giving the players the support they need to go and execute. I wouldn't say we have nothing to lose. We have to give a real good account of ourselves."
"From my point of view Chelsea have lost an incredible manager and an incredible person. It's a decision from the Chelsea hierarchy so I've nothing to say. How lucky I am in the club where I am. My club is extraordinary."
Calum McFarlane, Chelsea's U21 head coach, was appointed interim manager 24 hours after Enzo Maresca left the club. McFarlane described the period as a whirlwind, had his training pass amended to access the press conference room, and will take charge of Sunday's Premier League trip to Manchester City. Maresca departed after a 2-2 draw with Bournemouth that left Chelsea 15 points behind Arsenal. McFarlane emphasized readiness, player support, and giving a strong account of themselves. Reports linked Maresca to Manchester City, which he denied, and Pep Guardiola praised Maresca on his exit.
