Marescas side kicks, Willy and Danny know the club.

Roberto Vitiello (Assistant): Played alongside Maresca at Palmero from 2014 and 2016 during a career that took in 490 senior appearances. After retiring in 2020, started coaching at Fiorentina, before assisting Maresca at Parma. Duo were dismissed after just 14 games in charge. Then joined him at Leicester in 2023/24 and now Chelsea.

Willy Caballero (Assistant): Won Champions League, Europa League & FA Cup with Chelsea and the League Cup with Manchester City. Was a team-mate of Maresca's at Malaga in Spain. Played for Southampton for 18 months before joining Leicester in July 2023 and then returned to Chelsea in June 2024.

Danny Walker (First Team Coach): Maresca's assistant with Manchester City's U23s. Became Peterborough United's Senior Professional Development Phase Lead Coach in 2022/23, after Maresca had gone to Parma, and then reunited with him at Leicester.

Michele De Bernardin (Goalkeeper Coach): Coached with both the Academy and first team during four years at Parma, where he worked with Maresca. Was Goalkeeper Coach and First Team Coach with Sampdoria in 2022/23 before joining up with Maresca again at Leicester and then Chelsea.

Marcos Alvarez (Fitness Coach): First worked with Maresca at Parma and then went with him to Leicester and now Chelsea. Had previously worked at Tottenham under Juande Ramos, as well as at Sevilla, CSKA Moscow, Real Betis and SPAL in Italy's Serie B.

Javier Molina Caballero (Analyst): Brought to Leicester by Maresca, with whom he had worked at Parma, and then part of the team that followed to Chelsea. Has also worked at a number of Spanish clubs, including Atletico Madrid.
 
One thing I hope Maresca does is get Haaland involved more in the game. He’s got a genuine eye for a pass when he’s asked to drop deeper and link up play - two last night alone for Semenyo and then for NOR.

He’s too good to be sat there waiting for crosses all game/season with a few games thrown in every 6 months where he’s asked to do more.
Why hasn’t Pep done this?? He made Kün up his work rate off the ball and got him tracking back

FFS he has beaten Spuds Twice, get the new Bald Fraud in Quick!
 
Don't fret, we'll change that immediately ;)
I think so too.
Teams simply play one way against each other, but in a completely different way when it comes to matches against City.
These games are more like pre-season friendlies, while against City, the absolute majority of clubs play as if their lives are on the line
 
IF he does come in for next season, does anybody think it might be a holistic Pelligrini style appointment where he's just keeping the seat warm for a long term target ? But if he hits the ground running and excells then the jobs his.. ?..
 
We were winners before Pep, we'll be winners after Pep
There are no guarantees of winning anything in football.

At some point we are going to go years without winning trophies. Happens to every club in English football at some point after being dominant.

Who would have thought in 1910 that Villa would only win one league title in the next 116 years? Who would have thought in 1937 that Sunderland would only win one trophy in the next 89 years? Who would have thought in 1990 that Liverpool would only win 2 league titles in the next 36 years? Who would have thought in 1995 that Everton would go trophyless for the next 31 years?

We might well continue to win trophies in the next five years at the same rate we did before Pep from 2011 to 2016, or we might not win another thing until 2045. We have no idea what the future holds.
 
Whats this absolute obsession with blues about "knowing" the club. Its bollocks. And sounds raggish. Did Luis Enrique "know" PSG before going in? Same for Ancelotti replacing Pep at bayern. Not all successful managers have to "know" the club
 
Has Pep actually said he is leaving yet or are we still relying on Holt etc?
Neither Pep nor al Mubarak have said a Dicky Bird about it yet.

Imagine if Pep comes on stage on Monday and says, ‘okay, I have some news, I am signing a new contract’.

Without a doubt. Wouldn't surprise me if we only offered him a two year deal with a possible third if there's progression. Keeping the seat warm for Vinny

Not a chance, if it’s Maresca it’s because we think he’ll keep us winning, not a chance we risk falling behind or falling out of CL, in the hope somebody else comes along in 2 or 3 years. We can have an opinion on Maresca or anyone else we might appoint but don’t doubt the clubs ambition.
