This is not the first of his kind to see teams selling their coach that have brought them success to other teams that are also in desperate need of them. Like the case of Xabi Alonso of Bayern Leverkusen, I think he was given many offers from other clubs but decided to stay back in Bayern Leverkusen to strengthen the team more, I don’t know if his pay check was increased but it seems so for him not to accept other big offers from big clubs. Maybe Leicester were not financially buoyant to keep him by increasing his pay check and went to join a bigger club were he’ll get more pay for his work. Maresca will do well at Chelsea but I don’t guarantee his success in the first year yet which will depend on how good of a coach he is.
It has always been the culture of many middle class clubs or those rated lower to actually give opportunities to their employees when a bigger club offer comes. The Leicester city club we’re going to later get a good coach but the problem will be will Enzo Maresca gets such opportunity in his life again? I doubt. It was a good move as Leicester also had to get a buy out clause from Chelsea which was a good profit made. Their new head coach Copper is also not that bad too, he would most likely continue from where Enzo left, that’s one advantage of being a little club manager, the expectations are not much which reduces the pressure on the manager
But this is Leicester City first season after getting promotion to the Premier League, they have to start the season with new coach and I think there will be quite significant difference in the style of play and strategy they use in competing for comfortable place in the Premier League.
Enzo Maresca has shown how his performance can be said to be quite good, in fact he has provided several successes for Leicester last season so that they were actually able to get promoted back into the Premier League, but however they also couldn't do much to maintain it.
We see how their new coach works, after all he also has experience coaching big team like the England youth national team, this could make him coach who might be able to easily adapt to the Leicester City players.
But the problem is that Enzo Maresca has big effort for Chelsea, he is asking to bring in several of Leicester City mainstay players and if everything happens then Leicester City will have to be in more difficult condition.
Everything will be fine for Chelsea but not for Leicester who have just been promoted to the Premier League but have lost several important roles in their squad.
