Premier League manager of the month in September, four points off the top and undefeated in seven games - have Chelsea struck gold with Enzo Maresca?
On the surface, it may appear so. Their chop-and-change managerial policy under Roman Abramovich has continued as a tradition in the Clearlake Capital-Todd Boehly era.
Maresca is Chelsea's sixth manager since the BlueCo consortium took over in 2022. 'Win trophies or get sacked trying' is still the Chelsea motto.
With a free shot at one in the UEFA Conference League and an impressive record domestically to start the season, fans may think Maresca is the man to bring glory back to Stamford Bridge.
