Maresca leaves Leicester City just one season after arriving at the King Power Stadium
It is understood the Foxes will receive around £10m as a compensation package.
In a statement, Maresca said: “To join Chelsea, one of the biggest clubs in the world, is a dream for any coach. It is why I am so excited by this opportunity. “Enzo has deeply impressed us in our discussions leading up to his appointment. His ambitions and work ethic align with those of the club. We thoroughly look forward to working with him.”
That will prompt questions about his readiness for a Big Six appointment, but Chelsea were won over by his emphasis on possession football, which is viewed as being well-suited to the current squad.
