Chelsea has unexpectedly sacked head coach Enzo Maresca at the start of 2026, a decision that has surprised many, including club legend John Terry. Despite the shock, Terry acknowledged that unseen behind-the-scenes issues may have contributed to the decision. Maresca's tenure saw Chelsea win the UEFA Conference League and FIFA Club World Cup. The team currently sits fifth in the Premier League standings with 30 points from 19 games, having lost only once in their last five matches.
