The Italian left Chelsea in January after 18 months in charge, and just six months after winning the Club World Cup.<\/p>\n

Maresca also won the Conference League and got Chelsea back into the Champions League in his first season in charge.<\/p>\n

Enzo Maresca left Chelsea for three reasons<\/h2>\n

Chelsea weren\u2019t planing for a mid-season departure, and the decision to appoint Liam Rosenior backfired massively.<\/p>\n

The Englishman made a good start, but the wheels fell off very quickly and he was sacked last month following a run of five league defeats in a row without scoring.<\/p>\n

Marc Cucurella and Enzo Fernandez had spoken out against the departure of Maresca, and it\u2019s clear he was very popular with the players.<\/p>\n

His departure certainly impacted the season in a negative way, and BBC Sport have revealed the three reasons Maresca ultimately left.<\/p>\n

The report states a dispute over transfers, his salary and what he perceived as interference from the medical department over use of players were the main reasons.<\/p>\n

Maresca is currently out of work but is widely expected to take over from Pep Guardiola as the next Manchester City manager when he eventually leaves the club.<\/p>\n
