"In an unprompted and unexpected declaration last week, Maresca stated that the 48 hours leading up to Chelsea's 2-0 win over Everton had been the worst he'd experienced as Blues boss. Maresca chose not to elaborate on who or what had caused his 'worst 48 hours', but reading between the lines, it was not difficult to ascertain.

"Todd Boehly is understood to be a hands-on chairman, ensuring his voice is heard and influence felt around the various Stamford Bridge departments. Whether Maresca has taken issue with this previously is something only those inside the club will know, but since his appointment by the American financier as first-team boss, relations have clearly soured.

"According to trusted reports, Maresca finds himself in a position where he feels overly scrutinised given the team's success in the Europa Conference League and Club World Cup earlier this year. Factor in rumours of a fallout with star player Cole Palmer, who despite his reputation as the club's talisman, is not thought to be in the Chelsea hierarchy's good books either, and Maresca's position appears somewhat precarious."

He did not specify causes, but tensions with club decision-makers are apparent. Todd Boehly is a hands-on chairman whose influence extends across departments. Sporting directors Paul Winstanley and Laurence Stewart are reported to exert influence beyond their expertise. Maresca reportedly feels overly scrutinised despite Chelsea's Europa Conference League and Club World Cup successes. Rumours of a fallout with Cole Palmer emerged, though relations have since thawed. Managerial disputes with star players and executives have left Maresca's position precarious.
