Chelsea head coach Enzo Maresca has responded to speculation linking him with a future managerial role at FC Barcelona, insisting that he is fully committed to his current project at Stamford Bridge. When asked about the possibility of managing Barcelona one day, Maresca replied calmly, saying: “I’m happy to be in this huge club, one of the best clubs in the world.”
The 44-year-old Italian, who arrived at Chelsea after a highly successful spell at Leicester City, has quickly become one of the most talked-about young managers in European football. His tactical identity, focus on possession-based football and player development has earned admiration across Europe, prompting suggestions that he could be a long-term managerial candidate for major clubs including Barcelona.
Despite the growing external noise, Maresca made it clear that his focus remains firmly on Chelsea. His statement reflects strong loyalty towards the Blues as he continues to reshape the squad and establish a stable project after years of managerial instability. The club hierarchy also views him as a long-term appointment, trusting him to guide the young and talented squad through a progressive era.
