Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has responded to Chelsea's decision to dismiss Enzo Maresca from his managerial position.
Chelsea announced on Thursday that the Italian would no longer serve as their manager, just under six months after he led the team to victory in the FIFA Club World Cup and the UEFA Conference League.
The season began positively for Chelsea, but they encountered difficulties in December, securing only six points from their six matches and finishing 15 points behind Premier League leaders Arsenal.
Maresca’s relationship with the Chelsea management at Stamford Bridge deteriorated, and Nevin pointed out that Chelsea frequently hires and fires managers without careful consideration.
As Chelsea prepares to face Manchester City this weekend, Guardiola was asked about Maresca's departure from Stamford Bridge. He stated, “Let me say… Chelsea, from my perspective, have lost an incredible, incredible manager and an incredible person.
“However, it is a decision made by Chelsea's hierarchy, so I have nothing further to add.”
