Maresca: I was immediately convinced by Chelsea and did not consider coaching Manchester United.

Hupu September 20th Chelsea coach Maresca attended the pre-match press conference against Manchester United, the following is the second part.

Enzo Maresca denied the rumors that he was expected to coach Manchester United before joining Chelsea. The Italian coach will lead the Blues to Old Trafford Stadium on Saturday. Previously, he led Leicester City to the 2024 English Championship and was once highly sought after, and even linked to the position of Manchester United head coach.

But he said he never thought about joining another club after he was convinced of Chelsea's plan.

"I am Chelsea's head coach and I'm very happy to be here. The moment Chelsea contacted me for the first time, I had said it many times, and I was immediately convinced and confident.

First of all, because the club is huge, and secondly because of the lineup, because my squad was excellent last year and this season was equally excellent."

Maresca also praised Manchester United, saying that despite the bleak record of Ruben Amorin coaching Manchester United, the team still performed well under the Portuguese.

"I think Manchester United is a big club, they have a great coach, and there is no doubt that the arrival of Reuben will bring great achievements to Manchester United," Maresca said. The third question in the second part of the game before the game is about whether Garnacho starts.

"This is something we have to consider. Because he is young, you don't know how he will react. If we decide to start him, I'll talk to him and ask him how he feels."
