Mikel Slams Chelsea Board: Maresca Exit 'Ridiculous'
24 Feb
Summary
- Jon Obi Mikel calls the decision to sack Enzo Maresca 'ridiculous'.
- Maresca won the Conference and Club World Cup before dismissal.
- Liam Rosenior's recent results prompt further criticism.
Chelsea legend Jon Obi Mikel has launched a strong critique of the club's management, deeming the decision to dismiss Enzo Maresca "ridiculous." He asserts that Chelsea has significantly regressed since Maresca's exit on New Year's Day, despite subsequent attempts to stabilize the team.
Maresca's tenure, though brief, was marked by considerable success, securing both the Conference League and the Club World Cup. This period also saw the team on track for Champions League qualification.
However, a slump of only one win in his final seven Premier League matches prompted the board to make a change. Liam Rosenior was appointed as Maresca's successor.
While Rosenior initially saw an improvement in performance, recent disappointing results against Leeds and Burnley have led prominent figures like Mikel to question the club's overall direction and decision-making processes at Stamford Bridge.
