Enzo Maresca has been linked with a move away from Chelsea in recent weeks. Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola could leave the club in the near future, and Maresca has been mentioned as a potential replacement. It will be interesting to see if Manchester City are prepared to make a move for him. If they do end up securing his signature, Chelsea could move for Xavi Hernandez as his replacement, as per Fichajes.

It is something that's clearly happened, whether it's a disagreement or he feels his job is under pressure and he doesn't feel it should be because of the two trophies he's won and the points he's picked up. I don't feel like he's a manager that will backtrack. He has got a passion about him and a drive about him. Whether he has heard things, like the club might want him out and he's been proactive to go on the front foot, you don't know why

After the pair won the Championship together with Leicester City, Maresca brought Dewsbury-Hall to Stamford Bridge after being appointed as Chelsea boss. Dewsbury-Hall made just 13 appearances in the Premier League for Chelsea, but scored four goals and registered two assists in 15 Conference League appearances on their way to winning the trophy. The 27-year-old also featured in five Club World Cup games, scoring in the last 16 against Benfica before coming on as a substitute in the final as they beat Paris Saint-Germain 3-0.

"He was involved in many positive actions and his work rate was unbelievable. He brings other things to the table: his intelligence, the way he competes, the way he masters a lot of the things that are crucial for us."

It's a big week, but at the end of this week, we have another big week. Every game is important. Of course, Barcelona and Arsenal are important for different reasons, and we are ready.

Frank is more of a pragmatist, more willing to be direct, play on the break and wait for opportunities to unveil an array of clinical set-piece routines, whereas Maresca veers towards dogmatism. The Italian comes from the Pep Guardiola school; he prizes dominance of the ball. Chelsea's average of 59.7% possession this season is bettered only by Liverpool in the Premier League.
