Chelsea is in advanced talks to appoint Enzo Maresca as their new head coach.

Maresca was formerly an assistant to Pep Guardiola, and his attractive style of football appeals to the club's leadership.

Maresca is reportedly the preferred choice following Mauricio Pochettino's departure after a sixth-place Premier League finish.

Negotiations are ongoing for a potential contract, with Maresca showing interest in the project.

Other candidates being considered include Thomas Frank and Kieran McKenna.

Leicester City is preparing for Maresca's potential move by exploring other managerial options.

Chelsea's ownership group is focused on European success and consistency in various competitions.

Hopes are high for Maresca's ability to emulate Guardiola's success.
