Prominent Sky Sports Reporter Discusses Chelsea's View on Maresca

Maresca's departure from Chelsea was handled poorly. There were numerous reports that he was dissatisfied with Chelsea's management style and certain aspects of the club's structure.

However, the core issue we reported is that he learned Guardiola might leave and was contacted about potentially replacing him.

This completely disrupted Chelsea's season plan. The last thing they wanted was to lose their head coach mid-season, and that's exactly what happened.

Many people said Maresca was sacked—but we consistently reported that he resigned voluntarily. Chelsea believes he resigned because his heart was no longer with the club.

Given that Chelsea held the option to extend his contract and there was no release clause, his contract actually ran until 2030. You cannot unilaterally break a contract and leave a Premier League club to take a position at another Premier League club when you have contractual obligations.

Chelsea has done its best to protect its interests and ensure its position is respected in this matter. Manchester City will pay Chelsea £17 million in compensation. Maresca himself will also pay compensation to Chelsea, though the specific amount has not been disclosed. Additionally, he publicly apologized for leaving Chelsea.
