Manchester City have named Italian coach Enzo Maresca as their new manager, ending weeks of speculation over who would succeed Pep Guardiola at the Etihad Stadium.
The Premier League champions confirmed Maresca’s appointment on Monday, announcing that the 46-year-old has signed a three-year contract that will keep him at the club until the summer of 2029.
Maresca takes over from Guardiola after serving in various coaching roles and now faces the task of building on the success enjoyed by City under the Spaniard. His appointment signals the start of a new era for the club as preparations begin for the new season.
The Italian is expected to officially assume duties immediately as City begin plans for the 2026/27 campaign.
