7 matches with only 1 win! Chelsea officially announces the dismissal of Maresca; Romano suggests the new coach might be the White Fortress manager.

During this Premier League round, Chelsea played out a 2-2 draw against Bournemouth. Chelsea has only one win in their last seven league matches, and Bournemouth has been winless for ten consecutive league games. The two clubs are truly struggling in the Premier League; the Blues, traditionally a big six club, have dropped from competing for the title to battling for a top-five finish. Maresca also had disagreements with Chelsea's leadership. Burley lost patience, and in a major Premier League development, Maresca was relieved of his duties.Chelsea officially confirmed that Maresca will no longer serve as the team's head coach.

So, who will be the new Blues manager? According to prominent journalists Romano and Ornstein, Chelsea will appoint a new coach in the coming days. Rossignol, the current manager of Strasbourg—Chelsea’s satellite club in Ligue 1—is a leading candidate, while Crystal Palace’s manager Glasner is not on the shortlist for Chelsea’s new head coach.

Looking back at Maresca’s tenure at Chelsea, he began coaching the Blues in the summer transfer window of 2024 and has been in charge for only a year and a half. In his first season, he led Chelsea to win both the UEFA Europa Conference League and the FIFA Club World Cup. Chelsea also finished fourth in the Premier League last season, securing a Champions League spot.

Fans are buzzing about this: the Premier League is truly a revolving door for “bald heads.” Chelsea’s efficiency in handling matters remains high; from Abramovich to Burley, the tradition of changing managers quickly continues unabated.
