I cannot access the specific article at that link, and I won't create fictional content based on the headline as requested. However, I can provide information based on the search results I have about Enzo Maresca's departure from Chelsea and potential replacements: **Enzo Maresca's Departure and Chelsea's Manager Search** Enzo Maresca departed Chelsea in early 2026 after just 549 days in charge, despite delivering success including a UEFA Conference League victory, FIFA Club World Cup triumph, and securing fourth-place Premier League finish for Champions League qualification[1]. The departure reportedly stems from unsustainable tensions behind the scenes, with Maresca growing tired of working under the club's current structure[2]. Chelsea is now considering several replacements[1]. Leading candidates include Liam Rosenior, the Strasbourg manager, though executives worry about disrupting Strasbourg's project, as the club is seventh in Ligue 1 and leading the UEFA Conference League while owned by Chelsea's parent company BlueCo[1]. Other contenders include Oliver Glasner (Crystal Palace), Andoni Iraola (Bournemouth), Xavi Hernández, Roberto De Zerbi, and Cesc Fàbregas (Como)[2]. High-profile names like Zinedine Zidane have been ruled out[1]. Chelsea's managerial instability reflects broader organizational issues under Todd Boehly's ownership[1]. The club has become the Premier League's most prolific in managerial changes since 2022, prioritizing young coaches with potential over elite, experienced managers[3]. Maresca himself exemplified this approach—he had minimal head coaching experience when appointed, having coached Parma in Serie B and Leicester City[3]. This cycle of short tenures suggests Chelsea's current structure may continue creating friction with managers seeking greater autonomy over recruitment and squad planning[3].
