Enzo Maresca is appointed as Manchester City’s new head coach after agreeing compensation arrangements with his former club, Chelsea. Multiple reports say City and Chelsea reach an agreement for Maresca’s contract termination, with figures reported at €20 million. BBC and other outlets also state that Maresca, who was confirmed as Pep Guardiola’s successor, signs a three-year deal with City and that compensation is part of the transition. Inside World Football adds that Chelsea says Maresca will personally pay compensation now that he has been confirmed in the role. Maresca previously resigned at Stamford Bridge in January, leaving his coaching future to be settled by contract and related payments between the clubs. City’s appointment follows Guardiola’s departure from the Etihad at the end of the last season. The reporting broadly aligns on the timeline: City confirm Maresca this week, the compensation terms relate to his exit from Chelsea, and the move enables him to take over as Guardiola’s replacement.
