Manchester City have confirmed the appointment of Enzo Maresca as the club’s new head coach, with the Italian signing a contract that will keep him at the Etihad Stadium until June 2029.
The 45-year-old takes charge following the departure of Pep Guardiola and is expected to begin work immediately as City prepare for the new season.
Maresca returns to Manchester City after previously serving on Guardiola’s coaching staff during the club’s historic treble-winning campaign. Club officials believe his tactical philosophy and commitment to possession-based football make him the ideal candidate to lead the Premier League champions into a new era.
The former assistant coach will also play a major role in the club’s transfer activities ahead of the upcoming campaign as City begin reshaping the squad for the future.
Football transfer expert Fabrizio Romano confirmed the development on X on Tuesday, writing: “Enzo Maresca has already signed a three-year deal as Manchester City’s new manager. Agreement until June 2029 and a new chapter to start soon at #MCFC, with Maresca fully involved in the transfer strategy. Here we go, 100% confirmed.”
Manchester City are expected to officially unveil Maresca and announce details of his backroom staff in the coming days.
