Alejandro Garnacho has opened up on Enzo Maresca’s departure from Chelsea as well as revealing the prevailing mood from the players towards Liam Rosenior, who will now succeed him at Stamford Bridge.
Garnacho who joined Chelsea from Manchester United in the summer transfer window under Maresca, admitted he was sad to see the Italian head coach leave the club.
Maresca won two titles with Chelsea in his almost two-year tenure at the Premier League club, notably the UEFA Conference League and the FIFA Club World Cup trophies.
But despite the Italian’s departure, the Argentine winger stressed that he and the rest of the team were ready for what comes next.

Speaking in an interview with Sky Sports on Monday, Alejandro Garnacho said:
“It’s always sad when a manager goes, but he’s a really good guy and I learned a lot from him but I signed for Chelsea. We have to keep working, keep moving and be ready for what is coming.
“I think we started the season well but the last few weeks were a little more difficult because of the results and everything. But I said before, our main goal is to try to keep winning games.”
Garnacho also revealed that his Chelsea teammates are all eager to impress former Strasbourg coach Liam Rosenior, who have signed as new head coach on a six-year deal with Chelsea.
“A new manager is going to come in but we are still the same team. We have to be ready for Wednesday and that’s our job,” he added.
Rosenior completed his move to Chelsea on Tuesday morning, making the move to London from BlueCo’s Ligue 1 club Strasbourg, having helped the French club qualify for European football for the first time in 19 years.
