New Chelsea manager, Enzo Maresca, is looking to change the culture and bring more aggression into the team to turn around the fortunes of last season’s Premier League under-achievers. Chelsea languished in mid-table for the larger period of the campaign before a late charge under former manager Mauricio Pochettino secured sixth place and qualification for the Europa Conference League......See Full Story>>.....See Full Story>>
Maresca, 44, guided Leicester City to promotion to the English top flight in his first season in charge.
“In this moment, when you join a club you try to analyse what the club and team needs to improve and do the right things,” Maresca said at his first news conference on Monday.
“For me, it’s clear we need to create as soon as possible the right mentality and culture, a culture the fans can be proud of.
“We are going to try to be an aggressive team on the ball and off the ball and we need to create this connection between the fans and the club, especially at home.”
Maresca is Chelsea’s seventh Italian manager and is aiming to follow compatriots Carlo Ancelotti, Antonio Conte and Roberto Di Matteo, who won six major trophies between them at the London club.
