"Enzo Maresca was Chelsea men's first team coach from July 2024 until his departure on 1 January 2026. Maresca's departure came after the Blues won just one Premier League game in December 2025. Their sole other win in December was the League Cup quarter-final against Cardiff City. Chelsea's win percentage in the Premier League this season is 42%, after eight victories from the 19 games played so far."
"In the 92 matches in total under Maresca, they won 55 and drew 16, putting their win percentage under his leadership at 59.8% - the highest since Thomas Tuchel's reign in 2021 and 2022. Chelsea finished fourth in the league in Maresca's first season in charge - their highest league finish since 2021/22, when they were third. They also won the Conference League and Fifa Club World Cup in 2025. However it was not just results that meant Maresca had recently come under increased pressure."
Enzo Maresca was Chelsea men's first team coach from July 2024 until his departure on 1 January 2026. His exit followed a December 2025 run in which the Blues won just one Premier League match and a League Cup quarter-final against Cardiff City. Chelsea's Premier League win percentage that season was 42% with eight victories from 19 games. Across 92 matches under Maresca they won 55 and drew 16, a 59.8% win rate, the highest since Thomas Tuchel. Chelsea finished fourth in Maresca's first season and won the Conference League and Fifa Club World Cup in 2025. Reported disagreements with the club hierarchy increased pressure; his final match was a 2-2 draw with Bournemouth on 30 December.
