Former Liverpool man, Jamie Carragher, has hailed Chelsea boss, Enzo Maresca after the Blues’ start to the 2024-25 season.

The former Reds defender admitted that the former Leicester City manager has proved him wrong this campaign.

Chelsea appointed the Italian in the summer after parting ways with Mauricio Pochettino.

There were concerns over whether Maresca could turn things around at Chelsea and bring the club back to winning ways, including Carragher.

However, the Englishman has now made a U-turn on his previous stance.

Speaking on the Stick to Football podcast, Carragher said, “I think the manager has done a brilliant job and to be honest, I have been proven wrong a bit with Chelsea this season, I didn’t see this.

“I thought it would be chopping and changing of players, and there was talk about leaving players out at the start of the season, but you go to a Chelsea game and you almost know what the team is.

“I thought that would be a problem, having so many players egos and people causing trouble on the training pitch, but that doesn’t seem to have happened, so fair play to the manager.”
