According to the "Telegraph" report, Chelsea coach Maresca has changed his agency and officially joined Jorge Mendes' Gestifute company.
The move was seen as a signal of his desire to prove himself among Europe's top coaches. Mendes' client list is star-studded, including Mourinho, Emery, Marco Silva and Nuno and other famous Premier League coaches.
Reports pointed out that although Maresca changed his agent, Chelsea still firmly controls his future. His current contract is signed until 2029, and the club also has a one-year extension option.
The club's senior management has unwavering support for Maresca and plans to evaluate him after the end of this season, which is consistent with the plan when he was originally appointed.
The original appointment of Maresca, who had never coached in the Premier League, was seen as "a gamble", but he has repaid the club's trust by leading the team to win the UEFA Champions League and Club World Cup titles and return to the Champions League. He showed his side as a "skilled tactician" in the Club World Cup final victory over Paris Saint-Germain and this season's victory over Liverpool, although he has made some mistakes in decision-making and behaviour.
Mendes' relationship with Chelsea has always been "very profitable". He has led many key transactions such as Neto, Felix (twice) and Enzo. The joining of Maresca will undoubtedly make the cooperative relationship between the two parties closer.
