Enzo Maresca’s name is back on the big stage. According to renowned insider Fabrizio Romano, the Italian coach is being considered as one of the leading candidates for the Manchester City head-coach job. City’s hierarchy rate Maresca’s methods and results highly, but there is no official agreement yet.
The biggest question in this situation revolves around Pep Guardiola. Sources say Guardiola has not made a final decision about his future. For now, he is fully focused on the current season — essentially a “we’ll talk later, there’s work to do on the pitch” mode.
Maresca’s name entering the discussion is no coincidence. Chelsea have dismissed him today. Although the London club sit 5th with 30 points after 19 matches, their form has dropped sharply in recent rounds: the Blues have won only two of their last nine games. Against this backdrop, the club made a “sharp turn.”
In short, the scenario is this: City are monitoring Maresca, while Guardiola still hasn’t drawn a line under his decision. The most intriguing part — if Pep changes his mind, who will the Citizens start a new era with? That question will heat up even more in the coming days.
