Chelsea<\/a> confirmed on Thursday they have parted ways with manager Enzo Maresca ahead of Sunday’s game against Manchester City<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Maresca’s 18-month spell at Stamford Bridge comes to an end after a run of one win in seven Premier League<\/a> games that left his side fifth in the table, though sources have told ESPN the primary reason for his exit is a breakdown in relations with the club’s hierarchy.<\/p>\n

His exit was confirmed in a 99-word statement following talks about his future.<\/p>\n

Chelsea’s official wording stopped short of saying that Maresca had been sacked, rather that “Enzo and the club believe a change gives the team the best chance of getting the season back on track.”<\/p>\n

Sources said the club’s hierarchy had become concerned by Maresca’s behavior, with the 45-year-old having been increasingly public with his displays of dissent toward Chelsea’s ownership.<\/p>\n
