In the event that Chelsea’s owners decide to fire Enzo Maresca, a few people have been suggested as potential successors. After the latest events, the optimism that Maresca would lead the Blues to their first Premier League championship in ten years may have vanished. This came after the Italian gave one exceptional press conference over the weekend and seemed to disparage his employers. During his news conference following the South Coast club’s 2-0 victory over Everton on Saturday, Maresca delivered an incredible tirade. The 48 hours leading up to the game, he claimed, had been the worst “since I joined the club because many people didn’t support me and the team.”The Italian stated that he was not referring to the supporters, but he was unable to specify who he believed to be lacking in support. Many English media outlets think the outburst was aimed at Chelsea’s ownership and board. The former Leicester City manager said he was “absolutely committed” to his work at Stamford Bridge ahead of Tuesday night’s Carabao Cup quarterfinal against Cardiff City. Despite their achievements, Chelsea is not a team whose managers have long tenure—not even when they begin to quarrel with their employers.According to the development, Metro has identified a few managers that the owners of the Blues may be considering to take Maresca’s place. Liam Rosenior, the manager of Strasbourg, is thought to be the front-runner. Many Chelsea players are on loan at the Ligue 1 team Strasbourg, which is also owned by Todd Boehly’s BlueCo. The 41-year-old Rosenior has managed Hull City in the Premier League. Oliver Glasner, who led Crystal Palace to fifth place in the Premier League the previous season and defeated Manchester City to win the FA Cup, is also named. Andoni Iraola, the manager of AFC Bournemouth, and Frank Lampard, a former Stamford Bridge manager who seems to have turned his career around at Coventry City, are both discussed.
