The Guardian exclusively reported on Wednesday that Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca could be sacked at any moment due to a sharp decline in results and deterioration of his relationship with the management.
According to the report, since the team's form dipped in December, Maresca's relationship with the management has deteriorated rapidly, to the point where they are reportedly at odds.
It is understood that Maresca has confided to those close to him that he is considering leaving, but it is currently unclear whether he will choose to resign or remain in his position until he is sacked.
The report also revealed that the management believes the 13 consecutive times where Chelsea have dropped points from winning positions in the last seven matches, are largely due to Maresca's tactical errors.
After a recent 2-2 draw against Everton, although the Premier League giants' management claimed that Maresca was forced to cancel the post-match press conference due to illness, team correspondents know that they preferred him to miss the press conference for fear that the Italian coach might "say something that could damage the club's image."
If the situation doesn't improve, Maresca could very well be sacked as early as this Thursday.
If Maresca is sacked, Chelsea's management may consider appointing Liam Rosenior, the young English manager of their sister club Strasbourg.
Rosenior has been highly praised in recent years for successfully transforming Strasbourg into a European competitions regular.
It's worth mentioning that just weeks ago, Maresca was rumoured to be a potential successor to Pep Guardiola, making the current speculation about his potential sacking all the more surprising.
This could also influence Manchester City's plans to appoint him.
