City Manager

Enzo Maresca was appointed as Manchester City Men’s First-Team Manager on a three-year deal in the summer of 2026.

His return to the Etihad Stadium marked a third spell with the Blues having previously held the positions of our Elite Development Squad lead coach in 2020/21 and Assistant Coach in 2022/23.

Maresca’s coaching career began as part of backroom staff at Ascoli, Sevilla and then West Ham United before he spent the season with our EDS where he guided City’s Under-21s to a first-ever Premier League 2 title.

During that triumphant season in 2020/21, the Italian moulded a prodigiously talented squad that featured the likes of Cole Palmer, Liam Delap, James McAtee and Morgan Rogers with the bulk of his players subsequently going on to enjoy great success in the elite professional sphere.

Parma then swooped for his services shortly after, and after his spell in Italy, Maresca returned to City and became a key and trusted part of Guardiola’s senior first team coaching set-up in 2022 before helping us to claim a historic Treble of Premier League, FA Cup and UEFA Champions League successes.

Following the historic campaign, Enzo was appointed as manager of Leicester following the Foxes’ relegation to the Championship in 2023.

But he ensured they would immediately return to the Premier League by guiding them to the second-tier title in 2023/24 and that success caught the attention of Chelsea with the Londoners appointing Maresca as manager in the summer of 2024.

During his time with Chelsea he added the UEFA Conference League to his sparkling trophy cabinet as well as the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup.

Before making his move into coaching and management, Enzo had also enjoyed a hugely distinguished and successful that took in spells with West Brom, Juventus, Fiorentina, Sevilla, Malaga and Olympiakos amongst others.

Now his path has taken him back to City as Manager where he hopes to write the next chapter in a stellar career in the game so far.
