Chelsea’s Marc Cucurella believes former manager Enzo Maresca’s departure and the club’s policy of signing young players is behind the London side’s recent struggles.
Maresca left Stamford Bridge by mutual consent on New Year’s Day after just 18 months in charge following a breakdown in his relationship with the London side’s hierarchy.
Chelsea were then fifth in the Premier League table -- 15 points adrift of leaders Arsenal.
The Italian was initially replaced by Under-21s coach Calum McFarlane before current manager Liam Rosenior arrived from Strasbourg -- a club also owned by Blues supremo Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital.
Chelsea, however, have won only four of their last 12 matches, suffering a humiliating 8-2 aggregate defeat by holders Paris Saint-Germain as they crashed out of the Champions League and slipping to sixth in the Premier League.
