Chelsea news: Blues keen on rival Premier League manager amid doubts over Enzo Maresca future

Manchester United are not the only club interested in a manager who is achieving feats since the start of the 2025-26 season. Chelsea are too.

If Manchester United have lifted their heads with three consecutive victories against Sunderland (2-0), Liverpool (2-1) and Brighton and Hove Albion (4-2), the balance remains fragile. Ruben Amorim can breathe but the Portuguese manager knows that speculation about his future has not evaporated overnight and that the question of a sacking can return at any moment. Behind the scenes, the Red Devils have ticked several names with a view to a possible succession of the Lusitanian. Amongst the targets mentioned, the one leading to a Premier League coach in full flow is still making the news.

    Current surprise runners-up to Arsenal, Bournemouth have had a very good start to the season despite major departures from the last summer transfer window (Dean Huijsen, Ilya Zabarnyi…). The work of their Spanish coach Andoni Iraola is praised and it is without too much surprise that several European heavyweights are interested in the former Rayo Vallecano manager, in post since summer 2023. Manchester United are part of the sides in the running as well as Italian side Juventus. Mancunians who now face competition from a Premier League rival: Chelsea.

    Chelsea targeting coach with 41% win rate

    The London capital club would reportedly be beginning to anticipate an Enzo Maresca departure, under contract until June 2029. Named in summer 2024 in place of Mauricio Pochettino, the 45-year-old man would reportedly already no longer be unanimous at Stamford Bridge. If the Italian led Cole Palmer's partners to glory at the Club World Cup last July, after a success in the final against Paris Saint-Germain, Chelsea currently only occupy ninth place in the Premier League.

    If it is too early to state that Maresca will soon no longer be the Blues' manager, the Londoners have visibly already found his ideal successor. For the Cherries, given the pedigree of interested clubs, it will be difficult to keep for much longer the 43-year-old manager who has obtained 41% victories since his arrival on Bournemouth's bench.
