Chelsea’s co-sporting directors, Paul Winstanley and Laurence Stewart, have drawn up the final shortlist of recommended candidates, with the Chelsea ownership group, including co-owners Behdad Eghbali and Todd Boehly, making the final decision.
Enzo Maresca, currently the Leicester manager, is in pole position to succeed Mauricio Pochettino as head coach of Chelsea.
According to recent updates from renowned sports journalist Fabrizio Romano, Chelsea and Enzo Maresca are set to agree on contract terms. The contract is expected to be either a two-year deal with an option for a further season or a three-year deal, with the final details being clarified.
An appointment could be made in the next few days if an agreement is reached with Leicester over compensation. Chelsea are willing to pay compensation, with a fee of around £10 million expected.
