Enzo Maresca couldn't help but get a little frustrated with one Chelsea player during his latest training session.

Euro 2024 might have only just finished, but Premier League clubs are back in training and gearing up for the new season.

Pre-season might be the most crucial part of the campaign for new Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca, who is looking to turn the club's fortunes around after years of underperformance.

The Italian replaced Mauricio Pochettino after the Argentine coach led Chelsea to sixth in the Premier League table in his only season in charge.

Chelsea have lurched from crisis to crisis since Clearlake Capital and Todd Boehly took over the club in 2022, with Maresca the club's fourth manager since then.

Thomas Tuchel was sacked a year after his side won the Champions League, and his successor Graham Potter was dismissed after just 31 matches in charge.

Club legend Frank Lampard was brought in on an interim basis for his second spell as Chelsea manager, before Pochettino came in and left after one season.

Chelsea fans are hoping that Maresca, who signed a five-year contract at Stamford Bridge after leaving Leicester City, will be given the time to build a long-term project that can compete with the likes of Manchester City, Arsenal and Liverpool.


Chelsea fans have certainly been impressed by footage of Maresca's first training sessions at Cobham, although a recent clip does show him getting a little annoyed with youngster Noni Madueke.

The footage shows Maresca overseeing a training drill, with the 44-year-old saying: "Noni, two touches, three touches is too much."

Madueke, 22, arrived at Chelsea from PSV Eindhoven in January 2023 in a move worth around £30 million, but has so far failed to light up the Premier League.

The England Under-21 international made 23 league appearances last term, scoring five goals and providing two assists.

Chelsea will fly out to the United States later this month for pre-season matches against Wrexham, Celtic, Club America, Man City and Real Madrid, before then facing Inter Milan at Stamford Bridge.

Maresca will make his competitive Chelsea managerial debut against former employers City on the opening day of the Premier League season.
