Enzo Maresca, Manchester City, Pep Guardiola
19 May 2026
Manchester City are set to appoint Enzo Maresca as Pep Guardiola’s replacement before next season. The former Chelsea boss has been identified as the leading candidate, with talks already advanced as City prepare for Guardiola’s expected summer exit.
Maresca previously worked under Guardiola during City’s treble-winning season and also led Leicester back to the Premier League. City see him as a continuity choice who understands the club’s methods, despite the pressure of replacing their most successful manager.
