Pat Nevin: ‘Enzo Maresca needs two years to bed in his ideas at Chelsea’

Enzo Maresca will need at least two years at Stamford Bridge is he’s to get Chelsea playing his style of football. That’s according to former Blues winger Pat Nevin, who starred for the London club between 1983 and 1988. 

Nevin is concerned the new manager, who’s joined from Championship winners Leicester City ahead of the new season, won’t get the time he needs to turn the squad into winners.

“With the amount of young players in that squad, and the amount of youngsters that will inevitably arrive – from all over the world, by the way, and many of whom won’t have played Premier League football before – I think it’ll take two years for him to really bed his ideas in,” Nevin tells FourFourTwo on behalf of NewBettingOffers.co.uk.

“It would take any coach that long with that sort of squad. But is he going to get that? Who knows?”
