Chelsea head coach Enzo Maresca faces scrutiny after a disappointing loss to Newcastle, which complicates the team's quest for Champions League qualification. Despite progress symbolized by reaching the Europa Conference League final, the club's ambitions remain unfulfilled if they do not secure a top-four finish. With only a slim margin separating them from the seventh-place team, the final two matches are critical. Given the financial investments made, failing to qualify for the Champions League could render Maresca's season a failure, highlighting the high stakes involved.
Should Maresca's team manage to win the Europa Conference League but fail to secure a Champions League spot, the season would be viewed as failure regardless of the trophy.
Chelsea fans have not fully embraced Enzo Maresca's style; the recent defeat at Newcastle adds to mounting pressure on his future and the team's performance.
