          Chelsea's assistant coach Willy Caballero has defended Enzo Maresca's decision to substitute Cole Palmer during their 2-2 draw against AFC Bournemouth. (1:08)

          Enzo Maresca's future at Chelsea is in serious doubt after a breakdown in relations with the club's hierarchy, sources have told ESPN.

          Chelsea were booed off at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday after a 2-2 draw with Bournemouth with Maresca facing chants of "you don't know what you're doing" from fans when opting to substitute Cole Palmer.

          Maresca, who joined Chelsea in July 2024, guided the club back to Champions League football in his debut season by finishing fourth in the Premier League, as well as lifting the Conference League title and the inaugural Club World Cup.
