Chelsea has parted ways with head coach Enzo Maresca with immediate effect, less than two years into his five-year contract. Despite winning two major trophies, a recent poor run of results and strained relations with owners led to the decision. Under-21s coach Calum McFarlane will take interim charge for the upcoming match against Manchester City. McFarlane expressed excitement and noted the squad's focus for the challenging fixture, while acknowledging uncertainty about his own future beyond Sunday's game.
