Enzo Maresca at Chelsea LIVE – Deal awaits ‘final detail’, final talks on compensation

Chelsea are reportedly in advanced talks to make Leicester’s Enzo Maresca their new head coach.

The Italian, who until last summer was Pep Guardiola’s assistant at Manchester City, guided the Foxes back to the Premier League at the first time of asking after their relegation 12 months ago.

That, and the style of football with which he has achieved it, has impressed the Chelsea hierarchy, who are looking for a successor to Mauricio Pochettino after they parted ways after just one season.

Reports suggest that Chelsea have requested permission to speak to Maresca, for whom Leicester would demand £10m in compensation.

It is claimed that Chelsea and Maresca will quickly agree terms on a two-year contract with an option to extend for a third, as the manager has been labeled as keen to take the job during the week-long process.
