“I warned him” “I was disappointed about what he told me” – Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers warns Enzo Maresca not to do this after 4-1 loss to Celtic
Enzo Maresca has received a warning from Brendan Rodgers that leading Leicester City is not comparable to the responsibilities of leading Chelsea.
The Northern Irishman, who coached Leicester and worked for Chelsea, believes Maresca needs to accept the magnitude of the task that lies ahead of him.
‘I was surprised that Mauricio Pochettino went, since you could see by the end what he was trying to do and the players were buying into it,’ Rodgers, the Celtic manager, said ahead of his club’s game against Chelsea here last night.
‘I was disappointed for him that he couldn’t continue with his work. Enzo has come in having done very, very well at Leicester, but Chelsea is a totally different challenge. The expectation around Chelsea, to be one of the most successful clubs in the world, will always be there.
‘They have got some fantastic players and I am sure Enzo will do a really good job there.
‘Trying to convince the players how you want to play is always the challenge. That’s the first task.’
