Manchester City are close to appointing Enzo Maresca as their next head coach, with multiple outlets reporting that talks are at an advanced stage. The BBC says City are nearing the appointment as they prepare for the next managerial change after Pep Guardiola. Sky sources in Italy report City have moved toward completing a deal for Maresca, including the expectation that he travels to Manchester to finalise the move. Other reports add that City have reached a verbal agreement with Chelsea over compensation, linking the process to Maresca’s current role at Chelsea. Yahoo and Sky Sports both cite a reported compensation figure of about £17 million. Maresca is also described as the sort of internal continuity option, with the Independent noting that he previously served as Guardiola’s assistant at Manchester City. Across the coverage, the details focus on the closeness of the appointment, the compensation arrangement with Chelsea, and Maresca’s impending trip to Manchester to complete the transfer to City’s coaching position.
