Enzo Maresca: Chelsea will ‘dominate’ Premier League in next five to ten years

featured


Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca believes that Chelsea will “dominate” the Premier League in the next five to 10 years. Despite Chelsea’s current position in the table, Maresca has consistently downplayed their title chances for this season. The team recently secured a convincing 3-0 win against Aston Villa, moving them up to third in the league standings.

Maresca attributes Chelsea’s potential for long-term success to the young age and talent of the squad, which has been bolstered by significant investments in players like Enzo Fernandez, Moises Caicedo, and Nicolas Jackson. However, Maresca acknowledges that the team’s inexperience may hinder their chances of winning titles this season.

Looking ahead, Maresca believes that Chelsea, under their current ownership, will become a dominant force in English football in the coming years. He emphasizes the importance of building a strong foundation for the future and expresses confidence in the team’s direction.

While Chelsea has yet to win a trophy under the new ownership, Maresca has been working to stabilize and improve the team’s performance. Injuries to key players like Wesley Fofana and Reece James have posed challenges, but Maresca remains focused on the long-term goals for the club.

Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca says the club will “dominate” the Premier League in the next five to 10 years.

The 44-year-old Italian has repeatedly played down his team’s title chances this season, despite Chelsea being third in the table and level on points and goal difference with Mikel Arteta’s challengers Arsenal.

Chelsea leapfrogged struggling champions Manchester City after a convincing 3-0 win at home to Aston Villa on Sunday, but still trail league leaders Liverpool by nine points.

However, Maresca continues to refute Chelsea’s readiness to compete for titles despite the world record sums in multiple transfer windows under their Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital ownership group.

Chelsea have spent more than £1.5billion since the Clearlake takeover, largely on younger players on longer contracts, albeit balanced by substantial sales.

The likes of Enzo Fernandez, Moises Caicedo and Nicolas Jackson are hitting peak form, adding to the star impact of Cole Palmer over the last 18 months.

But Maresca believes the inexperience of his squad, which has an average age of just over 23, is a reason they will ultimately fall short this season.

“We’re not in the title race. We are not, in my opinion,” said Maresca.

Speaking ahead of Wednesday’s Premier League match away to Southampton, Maresca added: “What I said to the owners and the sporting directors the first time I met them, because of the age, and because of how good the squad is, for me Chelsea in the next five to 10 years will be one of the teams, or the team, that is going to dominate English football.

“This is what I said this to the club the first time I met them. No matter who will be the manager, for the next five or 10 years, because of the age, the squad, you can dominate English football, and I still think exactly the same.

“In terms of a target they didn’t ask me for any target, only to try to build something important for the next years. I think we are [heading] in the right direction.

“In terms of a personal target, I know you struggle to believe but I’m not focused on [the] end of season, next season, because it’s not real.”

Chelsea finished 12th and sixth in the first two seasons under their new American ownership, without winning a trophy, but have begun to stabilise and improve under Maresca.

Meanwhile, Maresca didn’t give an exact timeline on Wesley Fofana’s latest hamstring injury setback but said the centre-back, 23, would be out for “weeks”, along with captain Reece James.
