Enzo Maresca apologizes for disruption of Chelsea’s season
Newly appointed Manchester City manager Enzo Maresca issued a public apology to Chelsea for the mid-season disruption caused by his abrupt New Year’s Day resignation.
Enzo Maresca has officially issued a public apology to Chelsea Football Club for the severe disruption caused by his sudden exit last winter.
The 46-year-old Italian tactician, who was unveiled as Manchester City’s new head coach on a three-year contract, took full accountability for his controversial New Year’s Day resignation, admitting the decision heavily impacted his former employers’ campaign.
The public remorse coincided with a heavily critical statement from Chelsea’s ownership, who directly blamed Maresca’s departure for their failure to secure European football.
Although the Blues secured a substantial £17 million ($22.5 million) compensation package from City alongside a personal settlement from the manager, they made their bitterness clear while preparing to usher in Xabi Alonso’s new era.
