Chelsea, once whispered as an outside title contender in the autumn, has now slipped out of the European places after losing three of their last five league matches. Sky Sports pundit Paul Merson believes head coach Enzo Maresca is now in serious danger.
Details: According to Merson, if Chelsea fails to win their next two matches—against relegation-threatened Southampton and Leicester—then Maresca is likely to lose his job.
Quote: “If they don’t win the next two games, the manager will be gone. They’re playing against two of the worst Premier League teams in I don’t know how long—Southampton and Leicester. So if they don’t win these two matches, he’ll be doing everything he can to hold on to his job.”
Reminder: Former Chelsea midfielder Gustavo Poyet recently stated that missing out on the Champions League would be a massive failure for the club.
