Chelsea have confirmed the appointment of Enzo Maresca as their new head coach.
The Italian has agreed to a five-year contract at Stamford Bridge, with an option for a sixth year.
The 44-year-old manager replaces Mauricio Pochettino, who departed by mutual consent on 21 May after only one season in charge.
This appointment marks Maresca as the sixth manager under the ownership of Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital since their takeover in 2022.
Maresca was appointed at Leicester City last summer and successfully led them to the Championship title and secured automatic promotion to the Premier League.
