LONDON (AP) — Enzo Maresca left his post as Chelsea head coach on Wednesday after a reported deterioration in his relationship with the Premier League club’s hierarchy.
The Italian coach was midway through his second season in charge. In his first season, he won the UEFA Conference League and Club World Cup.
Last month, Maresca said he had experienced his “worst” 48 hours at Chelsea but didn’t specify why.
Chelsea is in fifth place in the Premier League and has advanced to the English League Cup semifinals.
