Enzo Maresca is learning fast that managing Chelsea is not for the faint hearted. The Italian coach has enjoyed moments of promise since taking over at Stamford Bridge, but history offers a warning that he cannot ignore.

Frank Lampard’s time in charge remains a cautionary tale for any manager at the club. Despite his strong connection to Chelsea and an encouraging start, Lampard’s reign eventually faltered due to inconsistency and dressing room unrest. Maresca must avoid falling into the same trap by balancing youth development with the demand for immediate results.

Meanwhile, Levi Colwill is edging closer to a return from injury. The young defender has been working hard in training and could provide much needed depth to Chelsea’s back line as they navigate a congested schedule.

With the team pushing for stability and results, Maresca will be hoping Colwill’s comeback brings both defensive strength and morale to the squad. The manager’s ability to manage pressure and learn from past lessons could define his time at the club.
