ENZO MARESCA has been confirmed as Chelsea boss on a five-year contract.

Blues chiefs have swooped to prise the Italian from newly-promoted Leicester.

Maresca’s long-term deal is a show of faith from Chelsea’s owners, who only handed his predecessor Mauricio Pochettino a two-year contract.

While Todd Boehly and Co are delighted to have secured their man, not all fans are on the same page.

And many have taken to social media to vent their frustrations.

One wrote: “Maresca signing a five-year deal. When he will be gone in five months.”

While a second claimed: “Another moronic appointment by Chelsea and Todd Boehly. I didn’t think Pochettino would last more than a year, and I was proven right. And I can’t see Enzo Maresca even lasting the season.”

A third posted: “Can’t wait to see Maresca sacked after one season because he’s been found out.”

And a fourth moaned: “This random will be sacked 7 months in.”

Another added: “I’ll be back to this when everyone wants him out in January.”

Many other Chelsea fans did welcome their new boss, who spoke of his pride to have joined the Blues.

He said: “To join Chelsea, one of the biggest clubs in the world, is a dream for any coach. It is why I am so excited by this opportunity.

“I look forward to working with a very talented group of players and staff to develop a team that continues the club’s tradition of success and makes our fans proud.”

Chelsea’s owners, meanwhile, added: “We are thrilled to welcome Enzo into the Chelsea family.

“We look forward to supporting him and the rest of the sporting team in fulfilling their potential and our expectations over the years to come.

“He is a highly gifted coach and leader that we are confident can help fulfil our vision and competitive goals for the club.”
