“I have got to say” – Chelsea reporter labels Enzo Maresca “a very smart coach” | OneFootball

A Chelsea reporter has just come out and labelled current manager Enzo Maresca a ‘very smart coach’ in a surprising admission.

He sounds surprised when he said it, that is why I’m saying it’s a surprising admission. It’s not that The Telegraph’s Matt Law has been overly critical of Maresca during his time at Chelsea, but I guess he is somewhat surprised to be complimenting him so highly at this stage.

Law was speaking on the latest episode of The London is Blue Podcast this week and he was talking about Maresca and the impact he’s had so far and how he has been doing as Blues boss, in particular getting some big wins against sides like Liverpool at the weekend.

Matt Law said on Enzo Maresca:

“I have got to say that for all the complaints about Enzo [Maresca], tactically he’s a very smart coach.”

There is certainly some truth to this for sure, Maresca has out-foxed a number of more experienced and senior managers in his time so far, showing he certainly has the knowledge when needed.
