The Italian departs with the club fifth in the Premier League table - 15 points adrift of leaders Arsenal - following one win from their last seven topflight games.

Speculation about Maresca's future had intensified during the poor run of form amid reports he endured a strained relationship with key figures at Stamford Bridge.

"Chelsea Football Club and head coach Enzo Maresca have parted company," read a club statement.

"With key objectives still to play for across four competitions including qualification for Champions League football, Enzo and the club believe a change gives the team the best chance of getting the season back on track."

Former Leicester boss Maresca was appointed as successor to Mauricio Pochettino in June 2024.
