As the departure of Pep Guardiola becomes clearer, Enzo Maresca has already been announced to succeed the Catalan manager on the Cityzens bench. And that doesn’t suit Chelsea, her ex-employer. According to The Daily MailLondon leaders would demand financial compensation and would even consider legal action with the Premier League. Chelsea would particularly criticize Enzo Maresca for having discussed with Manchester City while he was still under contract with the Blues.

The departure of the Italian coach, which took place at the beginning of January, remains very poorly received at Stamford Bridge. Behdad Eghbali, co-owner of the club, recently explained that this change ā€œwas not a club decisionā€. At the time, Chelsea were still in second place in the Championship before collapsing sportingly after his departure. Now considered one of the favorites to succeed Guardiola, Maresca could already cause new tensions between the two English clubs.
