Enzo Maresca is set to remain as Chelsea manager regardless of whether they qualify for next season's Champions League, sources have told ESPN.

Enzo Maresca has challenged Chelsea players to achieve domestic and continental success in their final three matches of the season.

Chelsea were a joy to watch before Maresca’s philosophy was properly embedded as Cole Palmer, Nicolas Jackson and others flourished in something approaching a ‘we’ll score more than you’ attitude to the game. But they’ve been a hard watch since Christmas.
