It is claimed that Maresca explained that he would end discussions with other potential clubs if offered a new contract at Stamford Bridge. The Telegraph reported how the Blues “rejected the proposal outright”.
The search for a suitable replacement for Maresca is now underway, with Strasbourg manager Liam Rosenior considered the leading candidate after impressing for the team also owned by the BlueCo consortium.
