Chelsea's Enzo Maresca faces sack threat after poor run
Chelsea's Enzo Maresca faces sack threat after poor run

Enzo Maresca is at risk of being sacked by Chelsea if results do not improve in the next few weeks, according to reports. The Italian is under mounting pressure after a 2-2 draw at home to Bournemouth left the Blues with only one win from their last seven Premier League matches.

Chelsea have won just two of their eight matches in December across all competitions and were booed off by a section of fans at Stamford Bridge after the Bournemouth game. Supporters also chanted 'you don't know what you're doing' when Maresca substituted Cole Palmer.

Maresca's assistant, Willy Caballero, conducted post-match media duties after the Bournemouth match, claiming the Italian felt too unwell to speak to the press. The BlueCo consortium which owns Chelsea is understood to be concerned about the dip in form and will give serious consideration to parting ways with Maresca if performances have not improved by the end of January.

Maresca is said to harbour unease about some aspects of the club's operation, having previously described the period after a 2-1 defeat to Atalanta in the Champions League as the 'worst 48 hours' of his tenure, citing a lack of support.
