‘We felt let down’ – Chelsea release statement refusing to even name Enzo Maresca as he’s appointed new Man City boss

Chelsea issued a pointed statement expressing their disappointment over Enzo Maresca’s departure to Manchester City, refusing to acknowledge his new role directly. The Italian, 46, has signed a three-year contract to replace Pep Guardiola, a move that came after City agreed to a hefty £17 million compensation fee. This snub highlights Chelsea's frustration over losing coaching talent and underscores the significant financial and emotional toll of poaching key staff from rival clubs.
