Maresca, who served as an assistant to Pep Guardiola at Manchester City, perfectly fits the profile Chelsea seeks in a dynamic, forward-thinking head coach.

Leicester City's head coach, Enzo Maresca, is expected to bring Willy Caballero back into the fold once his move to Chelsea is finalized, as reported by UK Metro.

Negotiations are ongoing between the two clubs regarding Maresca's transfer, with the manager emerging as the leading candidate to succeed Mauricio Pochettino at Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea has dismissed potential candidates such as Ipswich Town's Kieran McKenna and Brentford's Thomas Frank, focusing instead on finalizing an agreement with the Leicester City manager.

The deal is expected to cost Chelsea approximately £10million, in addition to securing contracts for Maresca's coaching team.

It is highly likely that Maresca will be accompanied to West London by his deputy, Willy Caballero, who previously played for Chelsea for four years.

Caballero was a member of the Chelsea teams that triumphed in the Champions League and Europa League.
