Pep out, Maresca in, Man City are kicking off a new chapter with a familiar face at the helm.
Manchester City have officially named Enzo Maresca as their new head coach, locking him in on a deal that runs until June 2029. He’s stepping into Pep Guardiola’s shoes as the club looks to usher in a fresh era at the Etihad, reports cbinews.tv.
The agreement is all done, and Maresca is set to take charge of first-team preparations straight away. He won’t just be on the touchline either — City want him fully involved in shaping their transfer strategy before the new season kicks off.
If the name rings a bell, that’s because the 45-year-old Italian isn’t new to City. He was part of Guardiola’s coaching staff during that historic treble-winning campaign, so he knows the building, the players, and the philosophy inside out.
City’s decision points to one thing: continuity. After Guardiola’s trophy-laden spell, the hierarchy clearly want to stick with the same possession-based, tactical style. Maresca has built a strong reputation for that exact brand of football, and the board reckon he’s the right man to carry it forward.
The news was first broken by Fabrizio Romano on X on Tuesday. As Romano put it: “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.”
We’re expecting an official unveiling from the club soon, along with details on who’ll be joining Maresca’s backroom team.
