Manchester City has officially appointed Enzo Maresca as their new head coach. The 46-year-old Italian has signed a three-year contract with the club.
Maresca’s previous role was at Chelsea in London, where he was dismissed in January 2026.
He has prior experience at Manchester City, having served as Pep Guardiola’s assistant, but left to pursue his own managerial career.
“I know Manchester City very well, and the chance to lead this team is an incredible opportunity for me,” Maresca said.
“City is an exceptionally well-run football club. Everything they do is innovative, carefully planned, and purposeful. For a coach, this is the perfect environment. It provides the stability I need to perform my job effectively.
This will be my third spell here. I understand the club, its demands, and expectations.
The quality of the people working here makes it so special, and I want to thank them for believing in my abilities.
I’m eager to get started with the players. I want us to win, play good football, and embrace the pressure that comes with representing Manchester City,” Maresca added following his official introduction.
