Enzo Maresca is getting closer to the coaching post at Chelsea

Leicester City manager Enzo Maresca is now the favorite to succeed Mauricio Pochettino at the helm of Chelsea, reports Sky Sports. The London Blues are looking for a new coach after parting ways with Pochettino at the end of the season.

Maresca performed superbly in charge of the Foxes last campaign and took them back to the Premier League, winning the Championship title. According to reports, Chelsea's management were impressed after talks with Maresca, especially with his extensive knowledge of the Blues' squad. The Italian is thus now the favorite for the job, with Kieran McKenna, Thomas Frank and Roberto de Zerbi being the other contenders. /BGNES
