Enzo Maresca sends message to Chelsea fans after signing 5-year contract at Stamford Bridge

New Chelsea manager, Enzo Maresca, has said that he wants to continue the Blues’ tradition of success and make the club’s fans proud.

Maresca spoke shortly after he was officially announced as Chelsea’s new manager on Monday.

“To join Chelsea, one of the biggest clubs in the world, is a dream for any coach. It is why I am so excited by this opportunity,” Maresca said.

“I look forward to working with a very talented group of players and staff to develop a team that continues the club’s tradition of success and makes our fans proud.”

Maresca replaced Mauricio Pochettino, who was sacked last month.

The Italian signed a five-year contract and will start his new role on 1 July 2024.
