Chelsea are currently seeking a fourth permanent manager and Cucurella was the first player to show support for the outgoing manager.<\/p>\n

In a message posted on X (formerly Twitter), the Spanish full-back thanked the Italian and wished him all the best in his future endeavors, amid mounting speculation about his links with Manchester City.<\/p>\n

He posted, “Thank you for everything, Mr. and all the staff. Thank you for your work, trust, and memories from day one! I wish you the best of luck in the future. Good luck, boss!”<\/p>\n

Maresca’s explosive comments after the win against Everton exposed tensions behind the scenes at Chelsea. His defiant comments came after a 2-0 win at Everton and a 3-0 thrashing of Champions League favorites Barcelona ended an unlikely four-game winless streak.<\/p>\n

He said: “Since joining the club, the last 48 hours have been the worst because not many people have supported us.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Since then, Chelsea have not won in their last three games, although they qualified for the next round of the Carabao Cup with a 3-1 win over Cardiff.<\/p>\n

During this period, they needed to recover from a two-goal deficit to secure a draw against Newcastle United, but lost 2-1 at home to Aston Villa, losing a one-goal lead.<\/p>\n

The mood worsened on Tuesday when Stamford Bridge fans chanted “you don’t know what you’re doing” over Maresca’s decision to replace Cole Palmer.<\/p>\n

After a 2-2 draw with the Cherries, Chelsea took the lead from behind and was booed after scoring all four goals in the first half.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
