Chelsea is set to replace Enzo Maresca with departing Ajax manager Francesco Farioli if the Italian fails to secure a Champions League spot for next season.
According to Tuttomercatoweb, Chelsea will only make a managerial change if Maresca falls short of qualifying for the Champions League.
The Blues, under Maresca’s leadership, have had an inconsistent season. Currently sitting fourth in the Premier League with the season nearing its end, Chelsea faces a crucial final match against Nottingham Forest away on Sunday.
