Jamie Carragher has made a prediction on Enzo Maresca\u2019s future at Chelsea after the Blues boss claimed he didn\u2019t receive the \u201csupport\u201d he wanted after defeat to Atalanta last week.<\/p>\n
Maresca described the time between that loss and the Premier league victory over Everton as his \u201cworst 48 hours at the club\u201d<\/a><\/strong> and having professed his \u201clove\u201d for the fans, it was pretty clear his anger was directed at the club hierarchy.<\/p>\n READ MORE: Premier League winners and losers: Slot, Newcastle, Sunderland, Spurs, Emery, West Ham and more\u2026<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Carragher described the comments as a \u201cclassic case\u201d of a head coach in a power struggle with the directors and owners, but warned the Italian boss that \u201cthere\u2019s only going to be one winner\u201d.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s not uncertain,\u201d Carragher said on Sky Sports\u2019 Monday Night Football. \u201cHe\u2019s speaking about the owners and the sporting directors.<\/p>\n \u201cI think this is a classic case that you see at a lot of clubs now, where you have a head coach \u2013 not a manager \u2013 and sporting directors. And what you get is, the coach comes in initially and agrees to the terms and conditions, but then he feels like he\u2019s done a really great job.<\/p>\n \u201cAnd he has done a really great job, getting Champions League football last season, and winning a European competition, and winning the Club World Cup.<\/p>\n \u201cSo, slowly, he feels like he should get more power. He\u2019d be really disappointed about Chelsea not going into the market and buying a centre back in the summer, when (Levi) Colwill got the big injury. And in the last few weeks, the results have just turned on them a little bit.<\/p>\n \u201cHe\u2019s calling something out that he wants something, in the public \u2013 which I don\u2019t agree with. We talked about Mo Salah last week, it was extreme, but it was a similar sort of situation. I don\u2019t like people going public, whether it\u2019s a manager or a player, you sort it in-house.<\/p>\n \u201cBut the problem for Maresca is, if you continue like this, there\u2019s only going to be one winner. And it\u2019s not him.\u201d<\/p>\n MORE ON CHELSEA ON F365 \u201cI don\u2019t think Maresca is manager of Chelsea next season,\u201d Carragher added, but believes the Blues bosses may well regret getting rid of him.<\/p>\n \u201cThe one thing you can\u2019t throw at Maresca is, he\u2019s not capable at this level,\u201d he said. \u201cWe\u2019re talking about Man United tonight and Ruben Amorim, and there\u2019s still that question mark, is he capable of coaching at the highest level against the best coaches in the Premier League? We don\u2019t know. I wouldn\u2019t say that about Maresca. When you look at his record, it\u2019s fantastic what he\u2019s done.<\/p>\n \u201cMaresca is capable of competing at the very highest level, what he\u2019s done with that squad is fantastic because they are nowhere near them other top 3 clubs, he can go up against every manager, now Chelsea might feel that they could go and get a better manager but let me tell you, they could easily go and get someone worse, look at what\u2019s happened at Spurs and Manchester United in the last couple of years\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jamie Carragher has made a prediction on Enzo Maresca\u2019s future at Chelsea after the Blues boss claimed he…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":235359,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[76],"tags":[2052,18,36191,793,19,17,5,132,5279],"class_list":{"0":"post-235358","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-sports","8":"tag-chelsea","9":"tag-eire","10":"tag-enzo-maresca","11":"tag-front-page","12":"tag-ie","13":"tag-ireland","14":"tag-news","15":"tag-sports","16":"tag-uncategorized"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/235358","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=235358"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/235358\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/235359"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=235358"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=235358"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=235358"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
