Chelsea hold talks with Leicester's Enzo Maresca to take over as manager

Blues impressed by former Guardiola assistant's work at Foxes, according to reports

Chelsea are reportedly holding talks to make Leicester City's Enzo Maresca their new manager.

The Italian was Pep Guardiola's assistant at champions Manchester City until last year. He has overseen an immediate return to the Premier League for the Foxes following their relegation 12 months ago.

The Chelsea hierarchy are looking for a successor to Mauricio Pochettino after they parted ways with the Argentine after just one season. Maresca's style of football is said to have impressed the Chelsea board, with Sky Sports reporting that the Blues had asked Leicester for permission to speak directly to Maresca on Monday.

The BBC reported that Leicester would be seeking £8-10 million in compensation for Maresca. It is also believed Maresca will fit in the club structure with his prior knowledge of the squad.

His stint as Guardiola’s assistant is also being seen positively, with Chelsea board members impressed with the rebuilding job Mikel Arteta, another Guardiola assistant, has done at Arsenal after leaving City.

According to the BBC, "Chelsea believe they are building an elite structure and hope that a hands-on, tactically proficient coach can get the best out of their expensively assembled squad".

Brentford's Thomas Frank and Kieran McKenna, who led Ipswich Town to top-flight promotion behind Leicester, were also linked with the vacant position.

McKenna has also been linked with Manchester United and Brighton, but reports suggested he was inclined to stay at Portman Road and sign a new deal.

Pochettino left after a late surge resulted in Chelsea finishing sixth in the Premier League, thus securing qualification for the Europa Conference League, but missed out on Champions League qualification and a trophy.

Although Pochettino led the Blues into Europe, it was a difficult season for the former Tottenham and Paris Saint-Germain boss.

Pochettino's side were booed by their fans after several underwhelming performances. Chelsea lost the League Cup final 1-0 to Liverpool after extra-time and pushed Manchester City all the way before losing in the FA Cup semi-finals by the same scoreline.

Chelsea's chairman Todd Boehly expected better after spending over £1 billion on new signings in his two-year reign.

Pochettino is the third manager after Thomas Tuchel and Graham Potter to be axed since US-based Boehly's consortium bought the west London club.

Chelsea's task of identifying a replacement for Pochettino is being overseen by co-sporting directors Paul Winstanley and Laurence Stewart.

Chelsea 2023/24 season ratings

An eventful season for Pochettino, who had to deal with a debilitating injury crisis, a young and inexperienced squad, and a disillusioned fanbase. He hardly helped himself with a poor start to the season, but there has been considerable progress in recent months, culminating in a charge up the table to finish sixth having also made two trips to Wembley. Overall, he should be satisfied with his work, but then he got sacked as instability continues to reign at Stamford Bridge. EPA

Recruited from Brighton last summer for £20 million but failed to convince. A knee injury sidelined the Spaniard in December, and by the time he was ready to return, he had been demoted to No 2. Curious to see if Chelsea try to offload him. EPA

Stepped in to replace the injured Sanchez and grasped his opportunity with both hands, proving an upgrade on the Spaniard. An excellent shot-stopper, Petrovic produced several saves to add to the highlight reel. Yet, his positioning and aerial ability could be suspect at times. Only 24, he will surely improve.

Split his time between left-back and central defence, and it was obvious where his best position lies. Looked uncomfortable at full-back but showed glimpses of his quality centrally. A mix of good games and bad, which is no surprise in a brand-new backline. Missed the final two months with injury, and should come back stronger next season. Reuters

It was a debut season combining the ridiculous and sublime for the French defender. One week, he looked like a prime John Terry in a man-of-the-match display against Man City, the next he's scoring an own goal from 40 yards out. Has all the tools to be a top defender, if he can find consistency in his performances. EPA

Missed most of the season with a thigh injury, but soon cemented his place in the team and was arguably Chelsea's best defender in the run-in. Solid at centre-back and reliable when required to deputise at right-back, Chalobah also emerged as a leader and could be an important player next season. If Chelsea don't sell him. AFP

A season to forget for the vice-captain. The hamstring problem returned in October before a knee injury at the end of the campaign. When he did play, he was short of sharpness; a match-fit Chilwell would have picked out that cross in the FA Cup semi-final defeat to City. Getty Images

What a difference a year makes. Cucurella was the subject of criticism following an underwhelming debut season, but he became a key player this campaign.

Stepped in to fill the void left by James and did so well the new manager will need to figure out how to get them both in the team next season. Linked up to great effect with Cole Palmer and Noni Madueke on the right flank and was strong defensively. Gusto, 20, has a massive future. Getty Images

Endured a miserable debut following his £100m move from Brighton and continued to struggle to find his best form in the early months. Caicedo gradually improved to end the season superbly, culminating with his magnificent goal on the final day. The Ecuadorian was much more effective when playing alongside Conor Gallagher than Enzo Fernandez. PA

Expected to have a big season, but ultimately failed to find his best form consistently. Often overrun by stronger midfields and went missing on too many occasions. The Argentine was carrying an injury for most of the season so will hope surgery and rest can bring a reset over the summer. Reuters

A mainstay in the team this season and an important player throughout both as a midfielder and captain. Delivered wherever he was deployed, being used in attack, deeper midfield and on the left wing. Chipped in with important goals and led by example with his commitment and energy. Chelsea would be crazy to sell him. Getty Images

Perhaps the finest debut season in Premier League history. Palmer needed little time to establish himself as Chelsea's main man, and once he started scoring, he couldn't stop. Ended the season with a remarkable 42 goal involvements (27 goals, 15 assists) and provided constant quality even as Chelsea struggled for consistency. An incredible talent. PA

A disappointing season for Sterling, who was one of few senior players in a young squad yet struggled to assert enough influence on the pitch. Scored a few important goals but not enough overall - only eight in 31 league appearances. Had an infamously bad game against Leicester in the FA Cup that led to fans cheering his substitution. Will be interesting to see if he's still part of the squad next season. PA

The raw materials are there to be a top-level winger with his frightening pace and ability to dribble at speed, but there wasn't enough progress this season. Struggled to convince when given a run in the starting XI, and his tactical naivety showed how far he still has to go. PA

The poster boy of Chelsea's late-season surge, Madueke was unplayable for much of the run-in and was the catalyst that sparked the turn in form with his impressive display at Aston Villa. The winger had been accused of having attitude problems but dispelled those criticisms by showing plenty of commitment in the final month. Has set himself a solid foundation for a more consistent season. PA

An eventful debut season for Jackson. The stats are solid and 17 goals is a good return for a first year, while his running in behind and pace on the ball caused plenty of problems for opponents. Yet, he was guilty of howlers, too, and missed too many important chances that could have changed the outcome of games. Overall, though, he should be pleased with his first season. PA

Some of Darwish's last words

"They see their tomorrows slipping out of their reach. And though it seems to them that everything outside this reality is heaven, yet they do not want to go to that heaven. They stay, because they are afflicted with hope." - Mahmoud Darwish, to attendees of the Palestine Festival of Literature, 2008

His life in brief: Born in a village near Galilee, he lived in exile for most of his life and started writing poetry after high school. He was arrested several times by Israel for what were deemed to be inciteful poems. Most of his work focused on the love and yearning for his homeland, and he was regarded the Palestinian poet of resistance. Over the course of his life, he published more than 30 poetry collections and books of prose, with his work translated into more than 20 languages. Many of his poems were set to music by Arab composers, most significantly Marcel Khalife. Darwish died on August 9, 2008 after undergoing heart surgery in the United States. He was later buried in Ramallah where a shrine was erected in his honour.

What is dialysis?

Dialysis is a way of cleaning your blood when your kidneys fail and can no longer do the job.

It gets rid of your body's wastes, extra salt and water, and helps to control your blood pressure. The main cause of kidney failure is diabetes and hypertension.

There are two kinds of dialysis — haemodialysis and peritoneal.

In haemodialysis, blood is pumped out of your body to an artificial kidney machine that filter your blood and returns it to your body by tubes.

In peritoneal dialysis, the inside lining of your own belly acts as a natural filter. Wastes are taken out by means of a cleansing fluid which is washed in and out of your belly in cycles.

How being social media savvy can improve your well being

Next time when procastinating online remember that you can save thousands on paying for a personal trainer and a gym membership simply by watching YouTube videos and keeping up with the latest health tips and trends.

As social media apps are becoming more and more consumed by health experts and nutritionists who are using it to awareness and encourage patients to engage in physical activity.

Elizabeth Watson, a personal trainer from Stay Fit gym in Abu Dhabi suggests that “individuals can use social media as a means of keeping fit, there are a lot of great exercises you can do and train from experts at home just by watching videos on YouTube”.

Norlyn Torrena, a clinical nutritionist from Burjeel Hospital advises her clients to be more technologically active “most of my clients are so engaged with their phones that I advise them to download applications that offer health related services”.

Torrena said that “most people believe that dieting and keeping fit is boring”.

However, by using social media apps keeping fit means that people are “modern and are kept up to date with the latest heath tips and trends”.

“It can be a guide to a healthy lifestyle and exercise if used in the correct way, so I really encourage my clients to download health applications” said Mrs Torrena.

People can also connect with each other and exchange “tips and notes, it’s extremely healthy and fun”.
