What Did Enzo Maresca Actually Say?
In a widely covered interview, Chelsea head coach Enzo Maresca expressed a bold vision for the club’s future, stating:
“Because of the age—and how good the squad is—for me, Chelsea in the next five to ten years will be one of the teams, or the team, that is going to dominate English football… No matter who will be the manager.”
He reiterated that while Chelsea aren’t contenders for the Premier League title this season, the current foundation makes long-term dominance a realistic goal.
Fan Reactions (From Reddit)
On Reddit, fans dove into the remarks—some with excitement, others with skepticism:
“A huge difference this time around… those players… are already getting significant playing time… The owners and sporting directors are fully committed to trusting the young squad.”
