"Former Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca reportedly left club chiefs unimpressed behind the scenes when he refused to turn up for a post-match press conference. The Italian tactician was supposedly feeling unwell after the 2-2 draw against Bournemouth earlier this week, leading to his assistant Willy Caballero taking on media duties instead. However, it now seems Maresca was not ill at all and simply didn't want to speak after that game, which was seen by Chelsea insiders as unprofessional and disrespectful, according to the Sun."
"Maresca had some positive moments at Chelsea, most notably as he got the club back into the Champions League, whilst also winning the Europa Conference League and Club World Cup trophies. Considering that the former Leicester City boss managed this with such a young squad, it perhaps seems a bit harsh not to have given him more time. Recent results have clearly not been good, with Chelsea on a run of just one win from their last seven Premier League games."
Enzo Maresca refused to attend a post-match press conference after Chelsea's 2-2 draw with Bournemouth, with assistant Willy Caballero handling media duties. Club chiefs were unimpressed because Maresca claimed to be unwell but was later believed not to be, and his absence was viewed as unprofessional and disrespectful. Chelsea announced Maresca's departure and began searching for a replacement. Maresca led Chelsea back into the Champions League and won the Europa Conference League and Club World Cup with a young squad. His overall record at Chelsea was 92 games: 55 wins, 16 draws, 21 losses. Recent form included one win from seven league games, though Chelsea remained in contention for a top-four finish and reached the Carabao Cup semi-finals.
