Chelsea enter the new season with yet another new manager and ahead of their campaign against Man City on Sunday, Manchester club boss Pep Guardiola has some advice for the London club's owners.
Enzo Maresca has been handed the reins at Chelsea next season after taking over from Leicester City at the end of last campaign following the departure of Mauricio Pochettino.
The Premier League giants have had a difficult year under the Argentinian but things have improved towards the end of the campaign. However, they decided to part ways, leaving Chelsea with more uncertainty.
Maresca is the sixth man to coach the Blues since Todd Boehly/Clearlake Capital took over the West London club and the Premier League giants have been in turmoil ever since.
The comings and goings of managers have not helped Chelsea's young side and ahead of the new season, Pep Guardiola has given the Blues owners some valuable advice.
Pep Guardiola gives Chelsea owners some important advice ahead of the new season
Speaking to the media on Friday ahead of Man City's game against Chelsea on Sunday, Guardiola told the London club's owners to give Maresca time at Stamford Bridge to allow him to develop the Blues squad.
“My advice: give him time. If they, the owners of Chelsea, accept my advice…give Enzo time and it will work,” Man City boss Fabrizio Romano said.
“All managers need time. I don't know if Chelsea is the place to do this, but give him time and he will work.”
Maresca worked under Guardiola at Man City the year the Manchester club won their treble so the Spanish coach knows a lot about the Italian's ability.
Chelsea is unlikely to listen to the former Barcelona coach next season as if things start to go south, this London club will have no problem pulling the strings during the reign of the former Leicester City coach at Stamford Bridge.
