Chelsea are poised to announce Enzo Maresca as their new head coach on Monday, Sky Sports reports.
Maresca will replace Mauricio Pochettino at Stamford Bridge, having agreed to a five-year contract.
The 44-year-old departs Leicester City after guiding them back to the Premier League by winning the Championship.
Maresca was Chelsea’s top candidate from a shortlist that included Brentford’s Thomas Frank, Ipswich’s Kieran McKenna, and Brighton’s Roberto De Zerbi.
His release clause from Leicester is reported to be between £8 million and £10 million.
Maresca will bring six members of his Leicester backroom staff to Chelsea, including ex-Chelsea goalkeeper Willy Caballero.
