Overview
- Manchester City announced on Monday, June 29, 2026, that Enzo Maresca will be the club's new head coach under a three-year deal running to summer 2029.
- Maresca said on his Instagram that he knows the club well, is grateful for the trust and aims to win while playing attractive football.
- President Khaldoon Al Mubarak praised Maresca's personality and ambition and CEO Ferran Soriano called him the best candidate the club evaluated.
- This is Maresca's third spell at City after he led the Elite Development Squad to the Premier League 2 title in 2020 and served as Guardiola's assistant in 2022, and he arrives having won the Conference League and Club World Cup with Chelsea.
- City did not detail preseason plans, staffing or transfer strategy in the announcement, so the three-year contract frames a medium-term test of continuity and the coach's impact on the squad and club culture.
