Maresca, who led Leicester City to the Championship title last season, is well aware of the high expectations that come with managing a club like Chelsea. However, he is confident that he can build on the solid foundation laid by his predecessor, Mauricio Pochettino.
‘I’m very excited. One of the reasons I’m here is because I’m convinced the squad is very good and full of talent.’
Maresca’s primary focus is on creating a winning mentality within the squad. He believes that by improving individual players, he can improve the team as a whole.
‘If you are able to improve players, then you are able to improve the team. So it’s our target to try to improve all of them day by day.’
The Italian coach also highlighted the importance of building a strong connection between the fans and the club. He wants to create an aggressive team that can dominate games and make the fans proud.
‘We are going to try to be an aggressive team on the ball and off the ball, and we need to create this connection between the fans and the club, especially at home.’
Maresca drew inspiration from his experiences playing under top managers like Carlo Ancelotti, Marcello Lippi, and Manuel Pellegrini. He believes that his own unique approach can help Chelsea compete with the top teams in the Premier League.
‘I played under [Carlo] Ancelotti, [Marcello] Lippi, [Manuel] Pellegrini, all of them are very important managers. We all try to take things, and then we create our own box with all these things inside.’
As an Italian manager, Maresca is proud to follow in the footsteps of compatriots like Gianluca Vialli, Claudio Ranieri, and Carlo Ancelotti, who have all managed Chelsea in the past.
‘One of the reasons for sure [I joined], I’m very proud to be an Italian manager here again.’
With Maresca at the helm, Chelsea fans can expect a new era of exciting football and a renewed sense of purpose. Will he be able to deliver on his promises and bring silverware back to Stamford Bridge?
