A new claim has emerged regarding a possible successor to Josep Guardiola at the English football club Manchester City.
Idman.Biz reports that, according to insider Nicolo Schira, Enzo Maresca has reached an agreement in principle with Manchester City for a contract until the summer of 2028. The agreement reportedly includes an option for a one-season extension.
According to the source, the "cityzens" have identified the former Chelsea head coach as a possible replacement for Guardiola. However, the final decision will depend on the Spanish specialist. It is noted that Maresca is ready to wait and see how the process develops.
Guardiola's contract with Manchester City is valid until the summer of 2027.
However, Guardiola has stated in recent statements that he does not intend to leave the team before his contract expires. He recalled that he has one year left on his contract at Manchester City.
