Enzo Maresca leaves Chelsea as club considers who will replace him

Chelsea and Enzo Maresca have parted ways, a development discussed on the Football Weekly Extra podcast.

Host Max Rushden was joined by Lucy Ward, Lars Sivertsen and Mark Langdon to assess the end of Maresca's spell at the club.

Panellists suggested the decision appears to suit both parties, while raising questions about how much influence senior figures at the club want over a manager and who they might entice as his successor.

The podcast also noted that 2026 began with three 0-0 draws in the Premier League.

Listeners were invited to rate, review and share the episode on podcast platforms and to join the conversation by email.
