Enzo Maresca may have worked for Pep, and even looks a bit like Pep, but does he have what it takes to reach the same level of tactical genius as the Catalan legend?

Inheriting a young and bloated Chelsea squad, the 44-year-old Italian has wasted no time imprinting his possession-based style on the team. Despite a pre-season marked by mostly defeats, his players seem to be buying into his vision and have shown promise.

However, Maresca’s managerial track record has raised doubts among the Chelsea faithful. After all, while he successfully guided Leicester City back to the Premier League last season, it was nothing if not expected considering he did so with the Championship’s most expensive and highest-paid squad. Before that, his only previous head coaching experience amounted to 14 games with Parma.

But what they’re not telling you about Maresca is his captivating journey from Man City’s reserves to now taking the reins at Chelsea and the potential impact he could leave at Stamford Bridge!
