Enzo Maresca’s debut season with Chelsea has not been flawless but it’s ultimately proven successful.
The Blues booked their ticket to next season’s Champions League with their 1–0 victory over Nottingham Forest on Sunday, securing them a fourth-placed finish and direct passage into the league phase of Europe’s premier competition in 2025–26.
Things could get even better for Chelsea on Wednesday as they aim to clinch a first trophy of the Maresca era. They will lock horns with Spanish outfit Real Betis in the final of the Europa Conference League as they aim to claim the title at the end of their maiden campaign in the competition.
But victory in Poland will pose them a unique and bizarre dilemma heading into the new season.
