Maresca left the club on New Years Day, less than six months after he guided the Blues to the Club World Cup in New York.
The Italian had a successful first season in charge as he won two trophies and returned Chelsea to the Champions League with a top four finish.
Enzo Fernandez hits out at Chelsea board over Maresca departure
However, Maresca’s relationship with the ownership started to deteriorate after he wasn’t given a new centre back following Levi Colwill’s ACL injury.
Maresca accused senior people at Chelsea of not supporting him after the win against Everton in December, and in the end his departure was inevitable.
Chelsea were 15 points behind Arsenal when Maresca departed, and are now 22 points behind the Gunners, and suffered a humiliating exit to PSG in the Champions League.
Fernandez threw his future into doubt after the game, but he gave another interview where he criticised Chelsea for Maresca’s departure.
“I don’t understand it either,” he Mexican broadcaster TUDN.
“Sometimes there are things that we as players don’t understand, how and in what way they try to manage things.
“Obviously, it was a departure that hurt us a lot because we had an identity. He gave us an order, even though, as is the way of football, sometimes it’s good and bad.
“But he always had a very clear identity when it came to training and playing, and obviously his departure hurt us a lot, especially in the middle of the season, it cuts everything short.”
Liam Rosenior insists star players don’t want to leave
Despite rumours of Fernandez and the likes of Cole Palmer looking to force an exit in the summer, Liam Rosenior insisted star players weren’t looking to leave.
Chelsea face a critical summer, and one where they have to get their business right if they are to take the next step, and close the gap on Arsenal and Manchester City.
