Chelsea have appointed Leicester manager Enzo Maresca as their new boss on a five-year contract with the option of an extra year.
The Italian replaces Mauricio Pochettino, who left by mutual consent on 21 May after just one season at Stamford Bridge.
Maresca, 44, took charge of the Foxes in June 2023, leading them to the Championship title last term.
