Cremona, Italy – Chelsea manager Enzo Marescaโข played a key role in Jamie Vardy‘s surprising โฃmove toโฃ Serie A side Cremonese, personally recommending the club โto the veteran striker. Vardy, 37, joined Cremonese on a โฃfree transfer this summer after his contract withโ Leicester City expired.
Maresca,who previously managed Leicester City,maintained contactโค with Vardy and โhighlighted theโฃ appeal of Cremonese,both as a club and as a city.”I am still in touch with Maresca,” Vardy stated. “He suggested coming here, becuase โขhe knew very well about the stunning Cremona club and city. After the possibilityโ was there, so I decided to join.”
The move โคmarks Vardy’s frist venture outside of โฃEnglish football. He isโข hoping to replicate the success he found with Leicester City, where he helped propel the โฃclub fromโ promotion contendersโค to Premier League champions in 2016. Maresca’s endorsement proved pivotal โฃin convincing Vardy that Cremoneseโ offered a viable platform to continue his career at the highestโ level.
