Pep Guardiola has decided to leave Manchester City after this season, with Enzo Maresca set to replace him — a move that has deeply angered Chelsea.
Details: According to Daily Mail, the London club are considering legal action against their Manchester rivals. The dispute could escalate to court if Chelsea do not receive compensation from Manchester City. The Blues’ hierarchy are furious with the Italian coach amid accusations that he was already in talks with City while still serving as Chelsea manager.
If the two sides fail to agree on compensation, Chelsea will take the matter to the Premier League, which would then launch an official investigation.
As for Chelsea, Xabi Alonso has officially been appointed as the club’s new head coach. The London side announced an agreement with the Spanish tactician, which will come into effect from 1 July this year.
As a reminder: Chelsea’s new head coach, Xabi Alonso, has already begun shaping the core of his squad for next season, making it clear which players he is absolutely determined not to let go.
