BREAKING NEWS: Stamford Bridge Erupts After United Collapse
Chelsea’s humiliating defeat to Manchester United has triggered a storm behind the scenes, with the club’s Sporting Director reportedly tearing into head coach Enzo Maresca in the aftermath. The furious executive is said to have branded Maresca a “baby coach,” blaming his tactical stubbornness for the loss.
According to insiders, the director fumed: “I warned him about this particular player, but he turned deaf ears to me. Now everyone can see the results with their own eyes.” His comments have sent shockwaves through the Chelsea fanbase, raising doubts about Maresca’s long-term future.
The United Disaster
United didn’t just beat Chelsea—they dismantled them. From kickoff, the Blues looked unprepared, exposed, and out of ideas. Maresca’s experimental lineup quickly backfired, and his refusal to adapt mid-game only compounded the collapse.
Pundits, fans, and now even the Chelsea hierarchy have pointed to the same issue: Maresca underestimated United, ignored internal warnings, and paid the price.
Fractures Emerging
The Sporting Director’s outburst hints at a growing divide within the club. Publicly undermining a head coach in such blunt fashion is unusual and may deepen instability in the squad. Reports suggest some senior players are already questioning Maresca’s methods following a string of avoidable defeats.
An insider claimed: “This wasn’t just about one player. This was a message. The board doesn’t like how things are going, and the fans can feel it too.”
Fan Backlash
Supporters vented online, many echoing the “baby coach” label. Calls for urgent change grew louder, with some warning the board not to let the season unravel further. “Another wasted campaign is unthinkable,” one fan wrote.
What’s Next?
All eyes are now on Maresca. Will he accept responsibility, adjust his tactics, and win back the squad’s trust? Or will his defiance deepen Chelsea’s crisis? With the board already showing signs of discontent, his future could hinge on the club’s next few results.
For Chelsea, the fallout from Old Trafford may prove just as damaging as the defeat itself. The real question: has Enzo Maresca already lost both the dressing room—and the boardroom?
