Enzo Maresca remains Chelsea’s manager despite recent struggles, as the club’s board maintains confidence in his leadership. Chelsea’s 2-2 draw against relegation-threatened Ipswich was met with boos, leaving them sixth in the Premier League and out of the Champions League spots.

Despite this, the board remains committed to Maresca, valuing his dedication and long-term vision. The Italian coach, who joined from Leicester after winning the Championship, has only been in charge for less than a season. While fans express frustration, especially with the team’s underwhelming domestic form, the club emphasizes unity and remains focused on a return to Europe’s top competition.

Chelsea face a difficult run-in with just six games left, including key matches against Newcastle and Nottingham Forest. On-loan winger Jadon Sancho, who scored in the Ipswich match, urged unity and 100% commitment in the final stretch. Meanwhile, Maresca expressed concern about the atmosphere at Stamford Bridge, stating fan support is crucial.
