‘It doesn’t affect me,’ says coach, who has deal to 2029
Intrigue around Maresca after ‘worst 48 hours’ comment
Enzo Maresca has played down links with Manchester City and insisted he expects to be Chelsea’s head coach next season.
Although Maresca has placed his future in doubt by refusing to quell suggestions that his relationship with the Stamford Bridge hierarchy has broken down, his contract lasts until 2029 and he has not said that he wants to leave.
However there is growing intrigue around the Italian, who caused surprise after last week’s win over Everton by saying a lack of support before that game meant he had experienced his “worst 48 hours” since joining Chelsea, after he was named as a potential replacement for Pep Guardiola if the Spaniard leaves City next summer.
