Enzo Maresca Shares His Approach to Building Fan Relationships at Every Club

Enzo Maresca has emphasized the importance of Chelsea’s supporters as he prepares for his first match at Stamford Bridge.

Ahead of the Blues’ final pre-season game against Inter Milan on Sunday, Maresca acknowledged the critical role fans will play throughout the season, especially as the team gears up to face Manchester City at home on August 18th.

Sunday’s match offers Chelsea fans their first opportunity to see Maresca in action, along with the club’s new signings, including the possible debuts of Nicolas Jackson, Cole Palmer, and Marc Cucurella. Despite a challenging pre-season, where Chelsea secured just one win in five games, Maresca has noted progress in the team’s understanding of his tactical demands and the development of a clear playing style.

Maresca expressed his excitement about his Stamford Bridge debut and shared a message for the fans, stressing the importance of their support.

“I’m very excited,” Maresca told Chelsea’s website. “Finally, we are at home with our fans, and we need them throughout the season.

They will be very important for us and the players because, in challenging moments, we need their support. We are going to enjoy it together.

“I always aim to build a strong relationship with the supporters, especially because at home, they can be our twelfth player.

We need them pushing and backing us. We will do our best to help them enjoy the game and share the joy.”

Maresca’s focus on fostering a positive connection with the fans is a consistent aspect of his approach at each club he has worked with, recognizing the vital role that supporters play in a team’s success.
