Enzo Maresca has left Chelsea after a tenure that yielded two trophies, notably including a Club World Cup victory. His time at the club was marked by reports that he did not adhere to Chelsea's traditional approach where the manager is not the primary decision-maker.

Chelsea begin the post-Maresca era with an away match against Manchester City. This transition marks a significant moment for the team as they look ahead in the Premier League.

Jacob Steinberg provides an inside look at Maresca's period managing Chelsea, highlighting the unique aspects of his leadership.

The Club World Cup victory may gain importance if the tournament’s status increases in the future.

The live blog also features other football-related updates including an interview with Jess Carter, the Guardian Footballer of the Year, alongside ongoing weekend Premier League action and broader Chelsea-related news.
