How does Maresca's Chelsea record compare?

1 week ago 2

Enzo Maresca had been Chelsea men's first team coach since July 2024 before his departure on 1 January 2026.

Maresca's side won just one Premier League game in December 2025.

Their sole other win in December was the League Cup quarter-final against Cardiff City.

Chelsea's win percentage in the Premier League this season has been 42% in the 19 games played so far.

In the 92 matches under Maresca, they had won 55 games and drawn 16, putting their win percentage under his leadership at 59.8% - the highest in recent years since Thomas Tuchel's leadership.

Chelsea finished fourth in the league in Maresca's first season in charge.

They also won the Conference League and Fifa Club World Cup in 2025.

However it was not just results which meant Maresca had recently come under increased pressure.

Reported disagreements emerged between the Italian and the club's hierarchy.

After his side's 2-0 win against Everton in December, Maresca said "the last 48 hours have been the worst because many people didn't support us".

His final game in charge of Chelsea was on Tuesday 30 December against Bournemouth - a 2-2 draw with all the goals coming in the first half.

What about previous Chelsea managers?

Maresca's predecessor Argentine Mauricio Pochettino managed Chelsea between July 2023 and May 2024.

His win rate as Chelsea boss was 51%, emerging victorious from 26 matches of 51 in charge, but he left the club by mutual consent at the end of the 2023-24 season.

Former Chelsea player Frank Lampard had a second spell as the club's caretaker boss between April and June 2023, after managing Everton between January 2022 and January 2023.

In that time, his side won one match and drew twice in 11 games. The win-rate in his first spell was 47.4%.

Graham Potter led Chelsea between September 2022 and April 2023 - his side won 12 games out of 31, a win rate of 38%.

During Thomas Tuchel's tenure, Chelsea won 60 matches of 100 and lost only 16 games.
