Revealed: Leicester City could face record-breaking points deduction in first season back in Premier League after losing Enzo Maresca to Chelsea

Premier League

Leicester

The Foxes have made a <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/leicester-city-back-win-promotion-premier-league-leeds-suffer-thumping-4-0-defeat-qpr/bltd449c6bf8d20e3d7" target="_blank">swift return to the English top flight</a> by winning the Championship and securing automatic promotion to the Premier League at the first time of asking. However, the club are facing some major problems ahead of their return to the big time. Title-winning manage<a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/enzo-maresca-chelsea-new-manager-pep-guardiola-former-assistant-agrees-five-year-contract-stamford-bridge-leicester-premier-league/blt12a277781cfc708f" target="_blank">r Enzo Maresca is expected to move to Chelsea to replace Mauricio Pochettino as boss</a>, while the club could be hit with a massive points deduction for alleged financial rule breaches.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Leicester could be hit with a deduction of "anything between six to 15 points," according to <a href="https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2024/05/28/enzo-maresca-obsessive-pep-guardiola-disciple-chelsea/" target="_blank">The Telegraph</a>. A hefty sanction would do serious harm to the team's hopes of staying in the top flight, particularly with a new manager needed in the summer. Former Chelsea boss Graham Potter and West Brom manager Carlos Corberan are potential candidates to replace Maresca.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Premier League sides <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/nottingham-forest-appeal-four-point-deduction-breaching-premier-league-profit-sustainability-rules/blt4b23c15e637c8683" target="_blank">Nottingham Forest</a> and <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/huge-relief-everton-toffees-10-point-premier-league-deduction-reduced-six-successful-appeal/bltb185bc92c3619fe7" target="_blank">Everton</a> were both hit with points deductions in the 2023-24 season. The biggest penalty in Premier League history to date is Portsmouth's nine-point deduction in the 2009-10 campaign, which sealed their relegation to the Championship.

DID YOU KNOW?

Leicester are set to receive compensation from Chelsea for <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/enzo-maresca-chelsea-new-manager-pep-guardiola-former-assistant-agrees-five-year-contract-stamford-bridge-leicester-premier-league/blt12a277781cfc708f#csbb57e503e68ddff8" target="_blank">Maresca who leaves after just 12 months with the Foxes and will sign a five-year deal with the Blues</a>. The Foxes will now begin their search for a new boss, who may face an uphill task keeping the team in the top division next season.
