Enzo Maresca appointed Manchester City manager on three‑year deal

Italian coach Enzo Maresca has signed a three‑year contract to take over as manager of Manchester City after Pep Guardiola's departure, with the deal running until June 2029. The appointment, confirmed by transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano, follows Maresca’s recent stint at Chelsea, where he led the team in 92 matches, and his earlier experience as Guardiola’s assistant at City.

Guardiola has publicly urged City supporters to be patient, advising them to “enjoy the process” as Maresca implements his ideas. The new manager is expected to be heavily involved in player recruitment and will inherit a side that last lifted the Premier League in 2024 and the Champions League in 2025, while facing high expectations from fans and the club hierarchy.
