Former Liverpool defender, Jamie Carragher, has predicted that Chelsea boss, Enzo Maresca will be sacked.
He said the Italian will not be in charge at Stamford Bridge next season following his explosive comments about the club’s board.
Following Chelsea’s 2-0 over Everton on Saturday, the Italian told the press that the build up to the game was the toughest period of his time at Stamford Bridge.
The former Leicester City boss said that “many people didn’t support me and the team,” but added that he was not referring to the fans.
While it has been widely speculated that the manager aimed his comment at the club’s board and owners, he told the press ahead of Tuesday Carabao Cup quarter-final against Cardiff City that he was committed to his job at Stamford Bridge.
Carragher believes the the South Coast club are already shopping for a new manager as this incident has sealed Maresca’s fate and he will not be at the Bridge much longer.
“It’s not uncertain. He was speaking about the owner and the sporting directors,” Carragher told Sky Sports Monday Night Football.
“He’ll be really disappointed by Chelsea not going into the market and buying a centre-back in the summer, when [Levi] Colwill got the big injury.
“In the last few weeks, the results have just turned on him a little bit. So he’s calling something out and he wants something in public which I don’t agree with.
“I don’t like people going public, whether it’s a manager or a player, you sort it in-house.
“But the problem for Enzo Maresca is if he continues like this, there’s only going to be one winner. And it’s not him.
“I don’t think Maresca is the manager of Chelsea next season
“I think when you come out and speak about ownership like that and you start going public, that’s a big problem. I don’t see him there next season.”
