Manchester City on Monday hired former Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca to lead the club into a new era after Pep Guardiola stepped down at the end of last season. Maresca agreed a three-year contract with City after being forced to wait several weeks to seal his move to the Etihad Stadium.
"Manchester City are a club I know very well and to have the chance to manage this team is a brilliant opportunity for me," said Maresca, who previously coached Leicester in the Championship and Chelsea in the English Premier League.
"City are an incredibly well-run football club. Everything they do is innovative, planned and purposeful. For a manager, that is a dream situation. It provides the consistency I need to do my job effectively."
The 46-year-old Maresca had been strongly linked with the City job once reports emerged of Guardiola's potential exit.
