We are delighted to announce the signing of Italian defender, Marco Palestra! ✍️

[JnR @CFCJnR]

Maurizio Sarri is another example of a real man, unlike his Italian counterpart Maresca.

Chelsea fans hated him, he got approached by Juventus, stayed the season till the end.

Won us the Europa League against Arsenal and got Top 4, lost Carabao Cup on penalties.

Aku tak nampak pun yg Kerajaan MADANI ambil kredit projek LRT3 ni. Tgk pd ucapan PMX, xde pun dia kata kita keluar belanja utk projek ini. Yg dia ckp, nak imbangi keperluan antara pengangkutan & keperluan sektor lain termasuklah isu banjir di Kelantan. Bodoh punya sapik pondan

[Gee💙 @iamlarrygee]

Andoni Iraola always knew Bournemouth was a chapter, not the whole book. But he finished the chapter properly.

He saw out the full season, delivered European football, walked away with his reputation intact, and only then accepted Liverpool. No backdoor talks. No mid-season drama. Just a manager who respected his club until the final whistle. That’s integrity.

Enzo Maresca chose the other route. He left Chelsea before the job was done. He abandoned a project in the middle of the season to run toward a deal that was already waiting for him. The club was left to pick up the mess while he chased the next big name on his CV. There was no emergency. Only ego and impatience.

Antonio Conte wanted Lukaku, Alex Sandro and Koulibaly after winning the Premier League.

But Chelsea didn't listen to him, and actually made the squad weaker, and signed bums.

Did he quit and run away though? No, finished the season, won FA Cup then left, a real man.

We all know he wanted to leave,yet he finished the season

🚨🔵 OFFICIAL: Enzo Maresca statement on Chelsea exit.

“The decision to leave was only mine. My resignation from Chelsea opened a path for me to join Manchester City, which is a club I knew very well. I am ecstatic that I have now joined Manchester City”.

“I recognise that my departure from Chelsea in the middle of the season caused disruption for the club and I apologise for that. It was neither my intention nor my wish”.

[Nizaar Kinsella @NizaarKinsella]

Manchester City statement: "Enzo Maresca has long been regarded by the club as a candidate within our succession planning. As a former successful coach within our system, Enzo has a strong relationship with the Club’s leadership and he understands how we work and evolve.

"We can confirm that confidential conversations took place between select representatives of City and Enzo Maresca in Autumn and Winter of 2025, while he was Chelsea FC’s Head Coach, regarding the possibility of him returning to City in a transitional leadership coaching capacity should Pep Guardiola decide to leave.

"We acknowledge Chelsea’s statement regarding the context of Enzo’s departure from Chelesa. We also acknowledge the context in which permission for discussions was given, and we recognize that his departure mid-season was disruptive to Chelsea’s season."

🚨🎙️ Rio Ferdinand on Enzo Maresca leaving Chelsea for Manchester City:

🗣️ “I’ll be honest, I never thought we’d get to hear the full story from Maresca himself. For months, everyone was blaming the owners for sacking one of their best managers in recent years, but the club simply knew something the public didn’t.”

🗣️ “If a player or a manager no longer sees a club as the place he want, then why should the club want to keep him? Sometimes the biggest move a club can make is knowing when to let go.”

🗣️ “From Maresca’s side though, I found it disappointing. Chelsea gave him the biggest opportunity of his career. They took him from Leicester, trusted him with one of the biggest jobs in England and gave him a platform to build his name.”

🗣️ “You don’t leave a club like that halfway through a project because Pep Guardiola calls you. That’s not how you repay a club that believed in you before everyone else did.”

🗣️ “I actually respect Chelsea for acting immediately. Once they realized his mind wasn’t fully at the club anymore, they moved on instead of begging someone to stay.”

🗣️ “And look at who they’ve brought in—Xabi Alonso. A manager with a bigger résumé, a stronger personality and someone who can influence an entire football club, not just the starting eleven.”

🗣️ “Maybe Maresca leaving and Xabi becoming available at almost the same time wasn’t just a coincidence. It could be a blessing in disguise.”

[Just Chelsea @justcfc]

Never put Maresca in Tuchel and Mourinho talks again, proper Chels both.

[Bridgways. @Bridgways]

“In Xabi Alonso, we have a Manager who has an exceptional football mind and is a professional of the highest integrity.”

🚨⚠️ OFFICIAL: Chelsea statement on Enzo Maresca.

“Chelsea FC appreciates the 2025/26 season was a hugely disappointing one for the Club and its supporters. A major contributing factor was the disruption caused as a result of changes that the Club was forced to make to the Head Coach position over the Christmas period”.

“Due to recent developments, we consider that it is important to explain to our supporters what happened and why our former Head Coach left the Club on 1 January 2026”.

“In Autumn last year, the Club was informed by our former Head Coach that there might be an opportunity for him to succeed Pep Guardiola at the end of the season”.

“It became clear to us that it was his strong desire to succeed Guardiola and that he was fully committed to pursuing the opportunity, despite the fact he was under a long-term contract which he had no right to terminate”.

“In December 2025, our Head Coach unexpectedly and abruptly resigned from his position. Obviously, we felt let down as we believed that his head and heart were focused on another club and another opportunity, despite having just arrived at Chelsea the year before”.

“No club wants to change its head coach midway through a season. However, in light of his decision not to continue fulfilling his responsibilities through to the end of the season, the Club was left with no choice but to protect our players, our supporters, and the Badge and accept his resignation”.

“In the circumstances and given the mutual respect between clubs, a confidential settlement has been reached with Manchester City, which includes the payment of compensation. A confidential settlement has also been reached with the former Head Coach under which he will pay compensation”.

Parti Wawasan ini kononnya mahu reset seluruh negara. Tapi akhirnya lantik dinosaur pegang jawatan penting.

Wawasan bermaksud pandangan tentang masa depan. Kalau kau lantik Rais Yatim dan Rahim Thamby Chik, ini bukan wawasan tapi ‘throwback’.

Fresh from his return from Kazan and Ashgabat, PM Anwar speaking at National Journalists Day announced that Turkmenistan’s president has agreed to award Petronas two major oil well contracts that will help beef up the country’s long term energy security.
