Chelsea Manager Enzo Maresca Banned From Post-Match Interviews After Sending Off vs Liverpool

Chelsea secured a dramatic late victory over Liverpool thanks to a 96th-minute goal from Estevao Willian, a match that saw Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca sent off for celebrating the winner. Due to Premier League and EFL regulations implemented in 2023, Maresca was banned from conducting any post-match media duties after receiving a second yellow card. Assistant coach Willy Caballero handled the media responsibilities in his absence, expressing happiness over the win and optimism for the team's recovery during the upcoming break. Maresca's relationship with the media has been tense, highlighted by a recent sharp exchange with a Sky reporter, reflecting challenges in his communication and public relations approach. Ahead of the match, Maresca had spoken about Chelsea's injury challenges, the team's discipline, and his view of Liverpool as the best team in England currently, while also touching on player availability and tactical considerations.
