Stan Collymore a former Liverpool striker has predicted that incoming Chelsea manager, Enzo Maresca will face a difficult period during Christmas next season.
According to him, his position would be under serious threat by then.
Collymore said Chelsea made a mistake by reportedly appointing Maresca as their new manager, adding that they should have ‘stuck with Mauricio Pochettino.’
Recall that Chelsea recently parted ways with Pochettino.
Pochettino left his position as team manager few days after the expiration of the season on mutual consent.
However, the Blues are close to officially announcing Maresca as their new manager, who will succeed Pochettino at Stamford Bridge.
In his CaughtOffside column, Collymore said: “I would be absolutely astounded if, when we get to Christmas, there are not rumblings about Maresca’s position already being under threat because it is a young, fickle, rookie group.
“For me, it is an underwhelming appointment. The club should have stuck with Poch (Pochettino), and I get the feeling that come November/December, we will be having another conversation about Chelsea changing their manager again.”
