Enzo Maresca is believed to have signed a three-year deal to replace outgoing Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola, after it was revealed that the legendary head coach will be leaving the Etihad at the end of the season. Speculation around Guardiola's departure date has been rife as the season draws to a close, despite the Catalan having one year left on his contract.
Guardiola's Exit Confirmed
Daily Mail Sport reported exclusively that Manchester City's sponsors were among those to have been told that Guardiola will be calling time on a remarkable trophy-laden spell on Sunday. The report also shared that Maresca, Guardiola's former assistant, was a front-runner for the vacant spot in the dugout.
Maresca's Appointment
Fabrizio Romano confirmed on Tuesday morning that the ex-Chelsea manager will be taking over. Maresca, who previously served as Guardiola's assistant at City, has agreed to a three-year contract. More details are expected to follow shortly.
