Mourinho overshadows Maresca

One of the most fascinating aspects of manager Enzo Maresca's media conference was that it took place in the Drake Suite at Stamford Bridge.

There are three pictures of now-Benfica manager Jose Mourinho lifting Premier League titles in this room, which celebrates every league title at Chelsea, beginning with the first lifted by Ted Drake in 1955.

It nicely sets up Mourinho's return to Stamford Bridge and Maresca was full of respect for the legendary manager.

However, there were also interesting themes exploring Maresca's own fraught relationships with the Chelsea fan base - as Mourinho is largely expected to be welcomed back despite having managed Tottenham and Manchester United.

Maresca looked very relaxed and even offered up his own concession that he hasn't performed well managing his team when down to 10 men.
