Chelsea has managed just three wins in 11 games across all competitions, a streak that has rattled both fans and the club’s hierarchy.
Manager Enzo Maresca now faces intense scrutiny as pressure mounts from every direction.
After a humbling FA Cup loss to Brighton, the Italian coach wore his frustration on his sleeve. A subsequent league defeat against the same opposition only deepened the sense of urgency at Stamford Bridge.
An injury to Nicolas Jackson has further weakened Chelsea’s frontline. Aside from Christopher Nkunku, the club currently lacks a striker with a proven track record. This shortfall has compounded the problems on the pitch.
Respected scout Mick Brown recently warned Football Insider that Maresca’s position is growing increasingly precarious. Brown stressed that Chelsea’s owners have a history of quick, decisive actions when results disappoint.

Recent performances have disappointed both fans and the board. As the supporters make their voices heard, the pressure intensifies. Brown warned that if Chelsea fails to turn things around soon, Maresca could face the axe.
Critics have shown no sympathy for the Italian manager. Steven Gerrard, speaking bluntly, compared Maresca unfavorably to Mario Balotelli. His harsh remarks echo the frustration felt by many fans demanding better leadership.
Chelsea’s owners have a well-known habit of acting swiftly against underperforming managers. Their “hire ’em and fire ’em” approach creates a revolving door of coaches and disrupts long-term strategy. This pattern prevents the club from achieving true stability.
For a club that prides itself on elite status, this reactive strategy is deeply concerning. Chelsea must address both its transfer policy and managerial approach to reclaim its stature. The coming weeks will be critical for Enzo Maresca and his future at Stamford Bridge.
