🚨 Official: Maresca is Manchester City's new manager | OneFootball

The beginning of a new era! 

As Guardiola bid an emotional farewell to the Citizens on the final Premier League matchday against Aston Villa, the club announced this Monday, June 29, that it had found his successor.

As rumored from the start, it is Enzo Maresca. The 46-year-old Italian coach is coming off a mixed season and a half with Chelsea, where he won the Club World Cup and the Conference League, before relationships and results deteriorated, leading to his departure last January.

With a title also won in 2023-2024 with Leicester, he therefore has solid experience as a head coach. But above all, he already has a connection with City, since he was Guardiola’s assistant in 2022-2023, the famous treble-winning season of the league, cup, and Champions League.

All of that made him Guardiola’s obvious successor. He has signed a three-year contract and will have the difficult task of carrying on Guardiola’s legacy after 10 trophy-filled years.

Chelsea should also receive around 20 million euros from the deal!
