Reports have suggested that Chelsea\u2019s manager is the target of Manchester City should they part ways with Pep Guardiola at the end of the season.<\/p>\n

As the Premier League giants prepare to say goodbye to arguably their best ever manager, Enzo Maresca<\/a> sits high on the shortlist to replace him.<\/p>\n

Chelsea don\u2019t want to part ways with Maresca<\/a> in an ideal world, however it has to be said that the relationship does not look particularly strong at the minute between him and the board.<\/p>\n

It is believed Maresca doesn\u2019t have the backing he thinks he deserves<\/a>, and it remains to be seen whether that will have an impact when it comes to interest from City.<\/p>\n

If Chelsea are required to look for a new manager as a result, one name who will certainly be mentioned is Liam Rosenior, currently working at Strasbourg.<\/p>\n

Fabrizio Romano has mentioned his name as a potential option for the Blues, with him being someone they \u2018appreciate\u2019.<\/p>\n

He said on his YouTube channel<\/a>: \u201cOne coach they appreciate for sure because he\u2019s already part of the BlueCo group is Liam Rosenior, who is doing a great job at Strasbourg the other club of BlueCo group. <\/p>\n

\u201cBut it\u2019s just an appreciation for someone they know internally and they\u2019ve been working with, but then at the moment to suggest that Maresca is 100% leaving that Maresca is going to Man City that Pep is leaving Manchester City that Chelsea are preparing their future, we are not at this stage at all.\u201d<\/p>\n

Despite there being no ambition to sack Maresca, the realisation that he could be headhunted for another job is very real.<\/p>\n

Imagine Enzo Maresca has just been sacked. Who should Chelsea hire to replace him? <\/p>\n

Chelsea have four names on their shortlist<\/a> already to replace the Italian, with Rosenior being one of those they have done work on.<\/p>\n

Cesc Fabregas<\/a> is also on the list, as well as Premier League managers Andoni Iraola and Oliver Glasner.<\/p>\n

Chelsea should realistically be doing everything they can to appease Maresca, with him potentially the best man out there to continue to lead this ambitious project at the club.<\/p>\n
