Chelsea's Enzo Maresca Banned for Liverpool Win Celebrations
Chelsea coach Enzo Maresca has been handed a one-match touchline ban and fined £8,000 for dissent and over-celebrating during a Premier League match against Liverpool. The ban means he will miss Chelsea's away match to Nottingham Forest this Saturday.
Chelsea's victory over Liverpool saw them climb to sixth place in the Premier League. However, the win came at a cost for Maresca, who was given a yellow card for protesting a penalty decision and another for celebrating a last-gasp goal excessively. Maresca openly admitted to the misconduct charge.
As a result of his actions, Maresca will not be on the touchline when Chelsea face Nottingham Forest. The current status of Nottingham Forest's coaching staff is uncertain, with Ange Postecoglou's tenure having ended on October 13, 2025, and no permanent replacement announced yet.
Maresca's ban and fine are a consequence of his actions during the Liverpool match. His absence will be felt when Chelsea travel to Nottingham Forest, with the identity of the home team's coach still uncertain as of now.
