Marc Cucurella Leads Chelsea Tributes as Maresca Gets Sacked

Marc Cucurella was the first Chelsea player to react to Enzo Maresca's sacking, posting a heartfelt message on social media. "Thank you for everything, mister, and to your staff. For the work and the trust from day one, and for the memories! Wishing you all the best in what comes next. Good luck, boss!" Cucurella wrote, showing appreciation for Maresca's contributions to the team.

Maresca's departure came after a disappointing run for Chelsea, with only one win in their last seven Premier League games. The Italian coach had led Chelsea to success in the UEFA Conference League and the FIFA Club World Cup, but tensions between him and the club's owners reportedly contributed to his exit.

Other Chelsea players, including Levi Colwill and Robert Sanchez, also expressed their gratitude towards Maresca on social media. Colwill described Maresca as "not just a top manager but also a top person," while Sanchez thanked him for the trust and memories shared.
