"Enzo Maresca will be in danger of losing his job as Chelsea's head coach if he cannot improve results before the end of January. The Italian, who was booed by the home support during the disappointing 2-2 draw with Bournemouth at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday, is under mounting pressure after a poor run of form, and a series of self-inflicted wounds have raised doubts over his position."
"Chelsea have one win from their past seven league games and although Maresca is set to be in charge for Sunday's trip to Manchester City his position is increasingly uncertain. Concern over the 45-year-old's decisions during games and away from the pitch have grown in recent weeks and there can be no guarantee that Maresca will survive beyond the end of January if he proves incapable of reversing the slump."
"Whispers about problems behind the scenes have inevitably intensified. Chelsea, who have dropped into fifth place in the Premier League, do not want volatility and there is a reluctance to make mid-season managerial changes. The memory of sacking Thomas Tuchel and Graham Potter during the first season of the Todd Boehly-Clearlake Capital ownership remains prominent. The board's preference is to wait until the end of the season before reviewing Maresca."
Enzo Maresca is at risk of losing his job as Chelsea head coach if results do not improve before the end of January. He was booed by home fans after a 2-2 draw with Bournemouth and has one win from seven league games. Concerns have grown about tactical decisions and off-pitch behavior, including cryptic comments after the Everton win that strained his relationship with club bosses. Chelsea have dropped 15 points from winning positions and slipped to fifth in the Premier League. The board prefers to wait until the end of the season before reviewing Maresca, though pressure is mounting.
