Even Oasis Frontman Liam Gallagher Wading Into Rumors About Pep Guardiola's Future

City have sounded out Enzo Maresca as Pep Guardiola keeps his future unclear, with succession plans also pointing to Vincent Kompany.

  • Enzo Maresca is "ready and waiting" to replace Pep Guardiola at Manchester City this summer, with sources describing the former Chelsea boss as "off limits" to other clubs due to the club's succession planning.
  • Guardiola is keeping his two-year contract signed in 2025 close to his chest, while the Treble-winning manager has reacted with incredulity to recent questions about his future at the Etihad.
  • Having worked in the academy and as part of Guardiola's backroom set-up for three years, Maresca is familiar with the Etihad structure and remains close to sporting director Hugo Viana.
  • Jockeying for position has intensified ahead of a managerial market featuring Manchester United, Chelsea, and Real Madrid, though Maresca is considered "Manchester City's man" should Guardiola depart.
  • While Bayern Munich boss Vincent Kompany is focused on his Bavarian project, City will "always be appealing," with one source calling his eventual appointment after a transitional period "inevitable.
