Enzo Maresca has agreed terms on a five-year deal with Chelsea to become their new head coach.
The 44-year-old, who will succeed Mauricio Pochettino at Stamford Bridge, will move from Leicester after leading them back to the Premier League by winning the Championship. It is understood work on his contract is being finalised by lawyers and an announcement could be made before the weekend. Chelsea co-sporting directors Paul Winstanley and Laurence Stewart had travelled to Marbella for face-to-face talks with Maresca after Leicester gave permission for discussions to commence.
'Chelsea feel Maresca is the one for them'Sky Sports News chief reporter Kaveh Solhekol: 'Chelsea have had a very thorough process with Kieran McKenna, Thomas Frank and Roberto De Zerbi all considered, but they feel Maresca is the one for them. 'The others were all very impressive candidates, but Chelsea feel at this moment in time that Maresca is the man for them, and he shares their vision for the future. 'He's only been a manager for one-and-a-half seasons.
