Chelsea criticizes Enzo Maresca's exit to Manchester City
Summary

Chelsea issued a public rebuke of Enzo Maresca following his abrupt departure to Manchester City. The club's statement criticized the sudden shift, emphasizing that no team prefers changing coaches mid-season. However, the irony of Chelsea's own frequent managerial changes in recent seasons undermines their stance. Maresca expressed relief at joining City, praising its stable management structure. In response to losing Maresca, Chelsea appointed Liam Rosenior from sister club Strasbourg, eliciting discontent among the Strasbourg supporters over the ongoing multi-club ownership concerns.
