Manchester City on Monday, confirmed Enzo Maresca as their new manager.

Maresca, who replaces Pep Guardiola, has signed a three-year contract.

City, however, will have to pay Chelsea more than £17m in compensation.

Maresca previously worked as Guardiola’s assistant during City’s treble-winning season in 2023.

The 46-year-old also led the club’s Elite Development Squad to the Premier League 2 title in 2020/21.

Speaking in an interview with the club after his appointment, Maresca said: “City is an incredibly well-run football club. Everything they do is innovative, planned and purposeful. For a manager, that is a dream situation. It provides the consistency I need to do my job effectively.

“This will be my third spell here. I know this club, I know the demands and I know the expectations.”
