Chelsea and Manchester City are locked in talks over compensation for Enzo Maresca‚ with sources at Stamford Bridge believing his sudden exit was a major factor in their implosion this season. Maresca‚ who is set to take over‚ was contracted to Chelsea until 2029 when he suddenly exited on New Year's Day. It then emerged that the 46-year-old Italian had previously informed his employers how he had spoken to City representatives over the possibility of replacing Guardiola this summer. Sources within Stamford Bridge believe Maresca's mid-season exit contributed to their campaign imploding‚ as they ended up finishing 10th in the Premier League and missed out on European qualification entirely. Chelsea insiders were also less than impressed with Maresca's behaviour in the build-up to his departure‚ such as his 'worst 48 hours' comments made less than three weeks before he and the club officially 'parted ways'.
MATT BARLOW AT STAMFORD BRIDGE: Tottenham supporters travel to Stamford Bridge not only fearing the worst but expecting it. With one win in the last 36 years there is no reason for anything else‚ but this trip across London delivered more agony than usual. They lost again. Of course they did. Goals by Enzo Fernandez and Andrey Santos put Chelsea two up before Richarlison pulled one back in the 73rd minute and sparked a desperate search for a late equaliser in a chaotic finish. Chances slipped away‚ as did an optimistic penalty appeal for a foul before a corner by Marc Cucurella ‚ and Jorrell Hato produced a terrific recovery block to deny substitute James Maddison. There was no escape for Spurs. At least not until Sunday. This defeat keeps Roberto De Zerbi 's team mired in a relegation hell until the very last day of the campaign.

Stamford Bridge officials were left incensed with the Italian amid allegations he had spoken with City while still in post with them.
Watching Alejandro Garnacho walk on to the field at Wembley with four minutes to go in the FA Cup Final told us much about Chelsea. Garnacho cost £40million from Manchester United. They thought it was a coup and‚ as so often is the case at Stamford Bridge‚ they were wrong. Four minutes to save a cup final. That kind of sums it up. If temporary coach Calum McFarlane really believed Garnacho had it in him to write Chelsea's name on the trophy‚ he may just have given him a little longer than that. As for Garnacho himself‚ he is still only 21. So we must be careful. Older and wiser and better players than he have been spat out of the Chelsea threshing machine. None of this is his fault.
The former Real Madrid and Bayer Leverkusen boss will start in his new role at Stamford Bridge on July 1 after agreeing a four-year contract with the Blues.
Morgan Gibbs White has revealed the extent of his brutal head injury suffered during Nottingham Forest's 3-1 win at Chelsea on Bank Holiday Monday. Gibbs-White lasted just 20 minutes after coming on as a second-half substitute at Stamford Bridge due to the incident. He sustained a bloody head after colliding with Chelsea goalkeeper Robert Sanchez after challenging for an aerial ball.
OLIVER HOLT AT STAMFORD BRIDGE: It was suggested before the game that Vitor Pereira‚ the manager of relegation-threatened Nottingham Forest‚ had taken a huge gamble by resting his best players for the Europa League semi-final second leg against Aston Villa on Thursday and playing a second team against Chelsea instead. Well‚ the second team was plenty good enough. Chelsea were so pathetic in this shambling 3-1 defeat that Forest's third team would probably have got the job done as well. And if Forest had a fourth team‚ I'd have backed them to beat this sorry rabble in blue‚ too. Chelsea were that bad. Stamford Bridge was as quiet and as subdued as I have ever heard it. I'm afraid that this is what happens when you have a club hierarchy‚ with its two co-owners and its five sporting directors‚ so inept‚ incompetent and confused‚ that they fire Liam Rosenior and entrust their last chance of qualifying for the Champions League‚ a prize worth more than £100m‚ to a novice temporary boss who has not even completed his coaching badges.

It remains the most-watched club game in English television history - remembered not for its 28 million audience at home‚ but for the brutality of the thundering tackles and violence. When Chelsea and Leeds meet at Stamford Bridge in the FA Cup on Wednesday‚ a collision from 54 years ago - and the raging debates that followed - will never be far away‚ even if the snowflake rules of the modern day have changed the game forever. The replayed match‚ in which Chelsea won 2-1 after extra-time‚ is the third most-watched sporting event in UK television history‚ beaten only by the 1966 World Cup final and Euro 2020 final.

Raheem Sterling's future at Feyenoord is already in jeopardy just nine weeks after he signed for the club‚ according to Dutch reports. The 82-cap England international‚ 31‚ joined the Eredivisie giants on a free transfer in early February a few weeks after having his £325‚000 per week contract ripped up by Chelsea. Sterling had endured a torrid spell at Stamford Bridge that saw him exiled to former manager Enzo Maresca's 'bomb squad'‚ and he was forced to train away from the first team for over six months after dramatically sliding down the pecking order.
Man United stars showed there is no love lost between the playing group and former team-mate Alejandro Garnacho following the Red Devils' 1-0 win over Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. Garnacho was the focus of attention on Saturday evening as he went up against former club United just days after revealing he did 'bad' things before sealing his £40million move to the Blues last summer.
KIERAN GILL AT STAMFORD BRIDGE: 'We want our Chelsea back‚' was the song reverberating around Stamford Bridge as we neared the conclusion of this latest calamity‚ and indeed‚ this is not the club they know and love. They cannot score. They cannot defend. For the first time since 1998‚ Chelsea have endured four consecutive league losses without so much as grabbing a goal for themselves. When they last kept a Premier League clean sheet on January 17‚ Thomas Frank was still Tottenham Hotspur manager before Igor Tudor and Roberto De Zerbi - and Spurs were 10 points from safety. When they last scored in this competition on March 4‚ Artemis II was still a month from launching - and it has since been around the Moon and back.

Chelsea host United on Saturday night at Stamford Bridge in what looks to be a poignant fixture for Garnacho judging by his recent social media activity.

Enzo Fernandez's agent has branded the Chelsea midfielder's two-match ban by his club 'completely unfair' and cast serious doubt over the player's future at Stamford Bridge.

Arsenal's progress to the Women's Champions League semi-finals was marred by a hair pulling controversy that left Chelsea boss Sonia Bompaster seething. The Blues' 1-0 victory at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday night was not enough to overturn their 3-1 first leg deficit‚ but Bompaster felt the Gunners should have been down to 10 following a bizarre moment involving Arsenal star Kate McCabe and Chelsea rival Alyssa Thompson.
He continues to be involved in football‚ having featured in a number of charity matches since retiring - including Soccer Aid at Stamford Bridge in 2024 - but likes cycling too. This week‚ he set himself the goal of a staggering 167km ride on the Spanish island‚ and looked a little worse for wear when he completed it on Saturday. It's not the first time he has taken to the road with a bike‚ however - in 2024‚ He‚ alongside his brothers‚ climbed Mont Ventoux‚ located in southern France‚ which is arguably the most famous climb in the Tour de France‚ with competitors climbing between 1‚210 and 1‚617 metres as they ride.
Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernandez has criticised the club's hierarchy for their role in Enzo Maresca's exit‚ admitting the departure 'hurt' the squad a great deal. The Blues‚ who crashed out of the Champions League after a humbling 8-2 aggregate defeat against Paris Saint-Germain in midweek‚ have struggled under new head coach Liam Rosenior of late‚ slipping to sixth in the Premier League with just one win in their last five matches. Maresca‚ just months after winning the inaugural Club World Cup with Chelsea last summer‚ left Stamford Bridge at the start of 2026 following disagreements with the board‚ paving the way for the appointment of Rosenior from Strasbourg.
Former Chelsea star Frank Leboeuf has labelled Liam Rosenior's decision to pass a note to Alejandro Garnacho as 'insane' during the final minutes of their Champions League defeat by PSG. Chelsea had trailed 5-2 heading into the second leg at Stamford Bridge‚ with any hopes of a comeback ending when Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Bradley Barcola put the visitors 2-0 up on the night within 14 minutes. The reigning champions added a third through substitute Senny Mayulu in the 62nd minute‚ with Luis Enrique's side taking an 8-2 aggregate lead.

Chelsea boss Liam Rosenior was furious to learn why VAR had allowed Leeds' equaliser to stand during his post-match interview after Tuesday's disappointing 2-2 draw at Stamford Bridge. The Blues‚ who had cruised to a two-goal lead through Joao Pedro and Cole Palmer‚ squandered their advantage after conceding twice in six minutes midway through the second half‚ missing the chance to leapfrog Manchester United into fourth place. After Lukas Nmecha halved the deficit for Leeds from the penalty spot‚ Noah Okafor scored a scrappy equaliser to restore parity‚ despite the ball appearing to strike Jayden Bogle in the build-up.
Marc Cucurella has made a very honest admission about the role he played during Chelsea's explosive brawl with West Ham players last week. The feisty clash at Stamford Bridge erupted into chaos in second-half stoppage time after Adama Traore threw Cucurella to the floor by the corner flag. While both sets of players brawled in a huge melee‚ West Ham star Jean-Clair Todibo grabbed Joao Pedro by the throat and was subsequently sent off by referee Anthony Taylor following a VAR check.
