The transition between 2025 and 2026 is not going smoothly at Chelsea. Enzo Maresca was the victim of his current poor results (only one victory in the last seven days in the Premier League) and his disagreements with management. The differences became too great to keep him in his post. In all likelihood, Liam Rosenior should replace him in the coming days. The latter did not confirm, but his comments at a press conference yesterday left little doubt.
“ We don’t know what tomorrow will bring. I do my job. I don’t want to guarantee how long I’ll be here, but I enjoy it here every day. », assured the man who took Racing in hand in the summer of 2024. He will therefore be rewarded for his good results and should in some way be promoted within BlueCo, owner of the Alsatian and London club. This second position is of course more prestigious and from the management side, the RCSA is seen more as a branch, or at best as a springboard.
Fans’ anger rises
Blues co-owner Beghdad Eghbali and his teams are not really concerned about the fate of Strasbourg. “They don’t even care at all”revealed a source in The TeamFriday. The management of the Blues is also under debate in England. Supporters are starting to get tired of seeing their club spend without thinking during transfer periods and are wondering about the real project that management wants to give. The “Not Project CFC” group even made demands of the club’s leaders, as reported by Daily Mail.
This collective writes that the Blues are “run less like an elite club and more like a player transfer factory focused on turnover, speculation and long-term potential at the expense of immediate competitiveness”. He also accuses the owners of BlueCo, who have spent more than £1 billion since taking control in 2022, of “prioritize long-term potential to the detriment of the present”. A demonstration is even planned, the last one dating back to last February. In the meantime, Calum McFarlane, usual U21 coach, will be on the bench against Manchester City this Sunday.
