Freshly corrected statistics now paint a clearer picture of the contrasting managerial sackings of Enzo Maresca and Rúben Amorim, both dismissed by their clubs in early January.
Their Managerial Statistics (Before Sack)
| Manager | Matches | Wins | Draws | Losses | Win Percentage |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rúben Amorim | 63 | 25 | 15 | 23 | 36.68% |
| Enzo Maresca | 92 | 55 | 16 | 21 | 59.78% |
Softfootball gathered, Enzo Maresca, who was sacked on January 1, 2026, following Chelsea’s 2–2 draw with Bournemouth, actually posted the stronger record. Across 92 matches, Maresca recorded 55 wins, 16 draws, and 21 losses, giving him an impressive 59.78% win rate.
Despite this, Chelsea’s hierarchy opted for change amid concerns over consistency, dropped points from winning positions, and off-field tensions.
On the other hand, Rúben Amorim was dismissed on January 4 after a 1–1 draw against Leeds. His record stood at 25 wins, 15 draws, and 23 losses from 63 matches, resulting in a 36.68% win percentage. While his tactical approach showed promise at times, results ultimately failed to meet expectations.
The corrected data highlights a familiar football paradox: managerial sackings are not always driven purely by numbers. Context, pressure, expectations, and timing often outweigh win percentages when clubs make decisive calls.
