The Italian led Leicester City straight back to the Premier League as Championship winners in his only season in charge and succeeds Mauricio Pochettino at Stamford Bridge.
The Foxe✅s topped the second division table with 98 points, with Dewsbury-Hall a key figure in his squad a🔯s he netted 12 goals and provided 14 assists last season – his best tally in a single campaign.
Dewsbury-ꦗHall was also named Leicester's Player and Players' Player of the Year.
The midfielder made the switch to West London earlier this month for £30million and is confident that Maresca will have Chelsea challenging for trophies in no time.
"The manag༺er ꦡwas a big catalyst in wanting me to come," Dewsbury-Hall told BBC Sport.
"I knew from Leicester,🍰 a club that went down and had a lot of problems, how he managed to galvanise that if everyone manage✤s to buy into the system.
"🉐I genuinely think in a short space of time we can be pushing for minimum top four - but more than that.
꧃"He may be unknown for a lot of people, but he is top, top level. He will surprise a lot of people."
Chelsea's pre-season got off to a frustrating start as they were held to a 2-2 draw by League One side Wrexham in Maresca's first game i💎n charge 𝕴on Wednesday.
Dewsbury-Hꦏall did not play in that match but is training with the squad in the United States and could feature in their next outing against Celtic on Satur༒day.
The 25-year-old is ☂confident the manager's tactics will come aꦗcross soon, with the players buying into his style.
"We've only been doing it for two or three weeks, but the combination plays are r൲eally quick and tidy," he addღed.
"That's after two weeks. I remember he said to us at Leicester after six months or a year, there might be teething probl🍸ems at the start, but it will improve.
"W🐎ithin the first week at Leicester, I was convinced this was top, top level. I ♕felt a bit stupid; I thought I knew a lot about football, but he was teaching me things on a daily basis that I didn't really know before. He has an aura, he can be strict, or gentle and soft - he has both sides.
"I am getting the same feedback here with the lads. They've bought into it here from minute one which is exciting. With a system and 🌸philosophy, you need everyone to buy in because, if they do, you can really achieve something."
