Enzo Maresca has left his role as Chelsea head coach after 18 months in charge, the Premier League club announced Thursday.
"Chelsea Football Club and head coach Enzo Maresca have parted company," said a club statement.
The Italian's exit from Stamford Bridge comes with the club fifth in the Premier League table -- 15 points adrift of leaders and London rivals Arsenal -- with one win in their last seven top-flight games.
