“Enzo Maresca has just been sacked by Chelsea and to be honest I’m completely shocked – I didn’t expect it.
I know things haven’t been going his way lately. You can see and hear that there was tension between the parties. I’ve had so many people call me this morning after the news and they all expect me to know what’s going on. But I have no idea – I’m not involved in the first team, so I don’t know what’s going on there.
This is just my side opinion: obviously there was tension between the trainer and the owner and they came to this decision. It’s a big shock because if you go back three or four weeks, we played very well against Barcelona. It was fast and high-quality, and in four weeks the form and results clearly did not meet the requirements.
I think, like the composition of the team, the coach himself was inexperienced. It was his first full-time job as a head coach in the top division, and he himself said he was still learning and sometimes made mistakes.
But I will say this: there are two sides to every story, and there are definitely things behind the scenes that I don’t know about. I only hear rumors like everyone else. I’m disappointed, but there’s still a lot to fight for this season – the Champions League, the League Cup. So whoever comes will have something to play for. And the players have to accept that, step up and deal with the situation,” said Terry.
In the current season of the English Premier League, Chelsea occupies the 5th place in the tournament table, having 30 points after 19 matches played.
