For a while, Maresca’s team was Liverpool’s fiercest challenger at the top of the league and made a surprise run for the championship.
But after a terrible two months, Chelsea has dropped to sixth position, 17 points behind Liverpool and two spots outside of the Champions League spots. Maresca claimed that his team’s most recent performance, a 3-0 loss to Brighton, was “probably” their worst since he took over last summer.
After showing early promise, Chelsea was praised for replacing Mauricio Pochettino with former Leicester City manager Maresca; nonetheless, the Blues can end up in a worse position under the Italian gaffer.
The Chelsea hierarchy was not impressed by the team’s sixth-place performance from the previous season under the Argentine gaffer, he ultimately left the team soon after the season concluded.
Sportscaster Rebecca Lowe finds it hard to understand how Maresca escapes fire with a potentially worse season developing in west London, considering how brutal the Chelsea board was with Pochettino. However, she maintains that firing Maresca would be a “ridiculous” result.
‘They fired Mauricio Pochettino after he not only had taken them to sixth – which was better than the year before – but improved them as the season went on, they looked pretty good from February onwards,’ Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher’s The Overlap US colleague said on NBC Sports.
‘You still sack him when he finishes sixth… Chelsea are sixth right now and they’re actually doing the opposite, they started really well under Maresca and have started to fade away which makes me concerned.

‘I just don’t understand how you can fire Pochettino when they improved and finished sixth but then keep Maresca after this season.
‘I think they should keep him – stop firing managers. But, from their perspective, if they’ve done that, I don’t see how they won’t do another firing, which would be ridiculous.
‘They’ve got to start sorting out the players’ attitudes I think, the body language doesn’t look great and they’re all too young. That’s the problem for me.
‘But you’ve got to keep Maresca unless they plummet down to tenth in which case there’s obviously a major problem. You have to keep him, try and get some stability at the club.’
