Manchester City are close to signing a three-year contract with Enzo Maresca to lead the team after Pep Guardiola's departure. The Italian tactician previously served as Pep Guardiola's assistant and is now expected to succeed the legendary manager. This is reported by Goal.com .
This transfer will also bring financial benefits to Chelsea. The London club is set to receive compensation for letting Maresca go. If the parties fail to reach an agreement, Chelsea has indicated readiness to take legal action.
During his time at Chelsea, Maresca was required to inform the management about offers from rival clubs. He disclosed interest from Manchester City and Juventus, which caused friction with the London club's owners.
The Italian coach also received offers from major clubs such as Milan, Real Madrid, and Tottenham. However, he valued the opportunity to continue Pep Guardiola's legacy and participate in the Manchester City project.
