Pep Guardiola has made the decision to step away from Manchester City at the end of the current season, with Enzo Maresca lined up as his successor. This development has sparked significant backlash from Chelsea.
According to the Daily Mail, Chelsea is contemplating legal action against Manchester City. The club is particularly upset with Maresca, alleging that he was in discussions with City while still serving as Chelsea’s manager. The Blues’ leadership is urging for compensation from their Manchester rivals.
If an agreement on compensation is not reached, Chelsea plans to escalate the dispute to the Premier League, prompting an official investigation into the matter.
In other news, Chelsea has confirmed the appointment of Xabi Alonso as the club’s new head coach, with the arrangement set to commence on July 1 of this year. Alonso is already taking steps to define his squad for the upcoming season, focusing on players he intends to retain.
