After months of uncertainty over the problem, reviews have emerged that Josep Guardiola will go away as Manchester Metropolis supervisor on the finish of the season. Enzo Maresca is essentially the most talked about candidate to interchange him, and Fabrizio Romano says Metropolis have already reached a whole settlement with the previous Chelsea boss on an preliminary three-year contract.
It is positively the tip of an period at Metropolis. This summer time marks precisely 10 years because the Catalan tactician arrived on the Etihad, by which time he has received 20 trophies, together with six Premier League titles (a seventh has not but been dominated out), three FA Cups, 5 League Cups, three Charity Shields and the treble of the Champions League, UEFA Tremendous Cup and FIFA Membership World Cup.
Maresca spent a season as supervisor of Metropolis’s Below-23 staff and had a brief stint as head coach at Parma earlier than returning to the Etihad as Guardiola’s assistant. He took cost of Leicester Metropolis in 2023-24, moved to Chelsea the next summer time and spent 18 months within the Stamford Bridge dugout earlier than leaving earlier this 12 months. He has been off work since then.
