“Finally”, Enzo Maresca changed my position – Cole Palmer reveals
Cole Palmer, a midfielder for Chelsea, has talked candidly about his prior collaboration with Enzo Maresca at Manchester City.
It has been revealed that Maresca will take over at Stamford Bridge for Mauricio Pochettino.
Despite coming from Leicester City, Maresca was Pep Guardiola’s assistant at City before joining.
Palmer attended the Etihad Academy before signing a £40 million contract to play for Chelsea in the summer of last year.
“I had Enzo at City Under-21s for a season and then he went to Parma and then when I went up with Pep [to the seniors], he came back as Pep’s assistant,” Palmer told the UK Telegraph.
“He’s a good coach, a really good coach. I think tactically he knows what he is doing. He’s a good coach and he will improve a lot of the players.
“Enzo was the one who put me at right-wing. So from the 18s I was playing 10 and when I went to the 23s, Enzo played me on the right. That was my first full season on the right.”
