Football's latest master and apprentice relationship that you hadn't heard of has come into the spotlight - as Enzo Maresca's Chelsea face off against Manuel Pelligrini's Real Betis in the Conference League final on Wednesday.
The pair's close relationship began in 2011 when Pelligrini signed Maresca at Malaga. It didn't take long for Pelligrini to notice more than just a good midfielder in the Italian.
'Enzo played for me at Malaga and I was immediately impressed with the way he looked at the game in great detail,' Pelligrini said.
Their partnership blossomed, and the result was a standout season for both.
