He replaces Mauricio Pochettino, who left the club by mutual consent last month after just one season.

In a statement on the club's website, Maresca said, "To join Chelsea, one of the biggest clubs in the world, is a dream for any coach. It is why I am so excited by this opportunity. I look forward to working with a very talented group of players and staff to develop a team that continues the club's tradition of success and makes our fans proud."

Maresca joins Chelsea from Leicester City, where he successfully guided them back to the Premier League as winners of the Championship last season. This marks Chelsea's fourth managerial appointment since Todd Boehly and private equity firm Clearlake Capital acquired the club in May 2022.

His appointment comes at a crucial time for Chelsea, who are looking to rebuild after a challenging season under Pochettino. The club's management is optimistic that Maresca's experience and vision will help steer the team towards future successes.

Fans and analysts alike are eager to see how Maresca will shape the squad and implement his strategies. His previous success with Leicester City has set high expectations for his tenure at Stamford Bridge.

As Maresca steps into his new role, he will be focusing on pre-season preparations and assessing the current squad. His primary goal will be to ensure that Chelsea competes at the highest level in both domestic and international competitions.

The upcoming season will be pivotal for Maresca and Chelsea as they aim to reclaim their position among Europe's elite football clubs. The club's supporters are hopeful that this new chapter under Maresca's leadership will bring renewed energy and success.
