Chelsea are playing Championship Manager. Or rather Head Coach.
A look at Chelsea's pursuit of Enzo Maresca, champion of the Championship; plus a look at Anthony Martial and European Super League.
Are Chelsea playing Championship Manager? Their pursuit of Enzo Maresca is curious. He’s done a decent job in getting Leicester City out of the Championship, but with that squad he was expected to. The football was terrific in the first half of the season but then some teams learned how to stifle Leicester. Maresca still got them over the line as champions, a point ahead of Kieran McKenna’s over-achieving Ipswich Town.
McKenna would be the more progressive, exciting appointment but he is either staying at Ipswich or waiting for Manchester United. Let’s hope it’s Ipswich, as rare loyalty should be cherished in football, and McKenna’s reputation would not be damaged if Ipswich came back down.
