Enzo Maresca has officially resigned as Chelsea manager, less than six months after leading the club to the Club World Cup, a feat that had raised high hopes among Blues fans.
His departure comes as Chelsea have slumped in the Premier League, winning just one of their last seven matches, and are now fifth, 15 points behind leaders Arsenal. While results on the pitch seemed to be the obvious reason, reports suggest there was a major internal conflict between Maresca and the club's leadership, involving technical decisions, player use and the nature of public relations.
This article looks at what led to the breakdown in relations between Chelsea and Maresca, his record at the club, and ultimately the names leading the race to succeed him at Stamford Bridge.
