Italian tactician Enzo Maresca is a leading candidate for the managerial position at Manchester City and is free to sign with any interested club, regardless of ongoing legal disputes with Chelsea over outstanding compensation. This information comes from journalist Ben Jacobs.
According to reports, Chelsea cannot block or delay Maresca from taking up a new role. Any team the Italian joins will not be obligated to pay Chelsea directly or wait for the Blues and Maresca to resolve their contractual arrangements, even if those terms remain active after his departure from Stamford Bridge.
It was previously reported that the Citizens are preparing for the potential departure of Pep Guardiola after the current season and view Maresca as their primary target.
Maresca served as Guardiola's assistant at Manchester City from 2022 to 2023. The Italian coach left Chelsea in January.
