After being named Chelsea’s head coach on a five-year contract last month, Enzo Maresca has spoken to the fans in his first public interview. Now that he is the head coach of Chelsea, Enzo Maresca has made his first public remarks.
Mauricio Pochettino’s successor, the Italian, was finally able to speak in a lengthy interview with the club’s media staff last month. Maresca was questioned on a wide range of topics, such as his style of play and the need of establishing a rapport with the fans.
Right now, you attempt to analyze what the team and club need to do to progress and move forward when you join a club,” the 44-year-old said. “In my opinion, it’s obvious that we must quickly establish the proper mindset and culture—one in which the supporters can take pride. This is a crucial matter.
We need to build a bond between the supporters and the players, particularly at home, and we will strive to be a competitive team both on and off the ball. It’s like playing with 12 players when your own supporters are fighting for the team, and that’s what we need to do here.” Maresca is eager to begin working with his players in the preseason. Following a rigorous process in which other coaches were evaluated, he was selected as the team’s first choice. While some are still playing for their nations at Copa America or Euro 2024, the majority are anticipated to return to Cobham today to start getting ready for their upcoming trip of the United States.
When Maresca talked about meeting his players, he was ecstatic. “I think the team is excellent and full of skill, which is one of the reasons I am here. Right now, what matters most is that we have been able to establish the appropriate culture to motivate us during this season.
