Chelsea leadership have complete faith in manager Enzo Maresca

Chelsea’s recent run of defeats has raised questions among supporters, but according to journalist Ben Jacobs, the club’s hierarchy remain firmly behind manager Enzo Maresca.

Losses against Bayern Munich, Manchester United, and Brighton have placed scrutiny on the Italian coach, yet inside Stamford Bridge the leadership group continues to project calm and confidence in his long-term project.

Jacobs reports that the Chelsea hierarchy view context as crucial when assessing results.

Remarkably, four of the Blues’ last five defeats over the past six months have come in matches where they were reduced to ten men.

Chelsea board have sympathy with Enzo Maresca

The board acknowledge that red cards have been a significant factor, skewing the outcomes of key fixtures. While the defeats sting, they are not interpreted as evidence of a deeper crisis.

Chelsea’s owners and sporting directors are said to have the same measured outlook that they displayed during last season’s difficult festive period.

At that time, calls for drastic action were resisted, and the faith ultimately paid off as Maresca guided the team to a top-four Premier League finish and added two trophies to the club’s cabinet.

This history of weathering difficult spells has strengthened the belief that consistency and patience are the right approach once again.

There is also an understanding within the club of the unique demands of a 60+ game season. With Chelsea fighting on multiple fronts domestically and in Europe, ups and downs are considered inevitable. The leadership group continues to emphasise long-term progress over short-term turbulence.
