Minnesota United's Eric Ramsay emerges as shock candidate to replace Maresca at Chelsea

Chelsea decided to part ways with Maresca following a sensational break down in the Italian’s relationship with the club’s higher ups.

According to The Guardian, Ramsay, who spent time at Chelsea as a coach before leaving for Man United in 2021, is a leading candidate to take over from Maresca.

Ramsay, 33, has earned plaudits for the job he’s done at MLS side Minnesota United, with a record of 38 wins, 16 draws, and 27 losses in 81 games.

Liam Rosenior remains the leading candidate to take over, however, largely due to the fact he’s the current manager of BlueCo sister club Strasbourg.
