Chelsea have sacked their head coach Enzo Maresca with immediate effect, following a poor run of form. Maresca, who was appointed in June 2024, had led Chelsea to win the Club World Cup and the Conference League, but the team has struggled in the Premier League, winning only one of their last seven games.  Strasbourg manager Liam Rosenior is reportedly a top contender to replace Maresca, with Zinedine Zidane also being considered for the role.
