Chelsea have appointed Enzo Maresca as their new head coach.
The 44-year-old, who succeeds Mauricio Pochettino at Stamford Bridge, moves from Leicester after leading them back to the Premier League by winning the Championship. Maresca has signed a five-year deal - with the option for a further 12 months - at Stamford Bridge and was Chelsea's No 1 choice from a shortlist including Brentford's Thomas Frank, Ipswich's Kieran McKenna and Roberto De Zerbi, who left Brighton at the end of the season.
Maresca's obsession with possession and positional play made him the leading candidate to replace Pochettino, who left by mutual consent just two days after guiding Chelsea to a sixth-place Premier League finish. The length of Maresca's contract reflects that Chelsea are focused on bringing long-term success back to the club, with senior figures at the club believing he will be the final piece of the jigsaw to fit into the new, modern structure they have built.
