Enzo Maresca has been named the new head coach of Manchester City after Pep Guardiola's successful decade in charge. Maresca, who signed a three-year contract, was promoted from Manchester City's under-21 manager and has previously managed Chelsea and Leicester City. He guided Leicester City to the Championship title before moving to Chelsea, where he won the Europa Conference League and the Club World Cup. His coaching style emphasizes possession and fluid movement, with a formation likely to be 4-2-3-1.
