Manchester City have entered a new technical era after Enzo Maresca was confirmed as the club's new manager, succeeding Pep Guardiola.
According to reliable English reports, Maresca has signed a three-year contract, returning to the club where he previously worked as part of Guardiola's staff and also managed City's development side to a Premier League 2 title.
The appointment follows the end of Guardiola's long spell at Manchester City, a period that brought major domestic and European success and reshaped the club's status in elite football.
Maresca's previous knowledge of City's environment should help his early work, but the Italian faces a major challenge in managing the transition after one of the most successful managers in the club's history.
He is now expected to move quickly on pre-season plans, squad decisions and the summer transfer strategy.
