Enzo Maresca is on the verge of being confirmed as Chelsea’s new head coach – and the elite ensemble who will be joining the Italian in his backroom staff can be revealed by Mail Sport.

Maresca handpicked a set of best-in-class coaches he wanted with him at Stamford Bridge, with Chelsea agreeing during several positive conversations that he should have access to the world’s most skilled coaching and technical staff. There are eight names, with another two appointments in line to follow once further talks have been held with Maresca.
