Manchester City assistant manager Enzo Maresca is closing in on becoming the new Leicester City manager ahead of next season.
Maresca, who was thought to be a candidate for Scottish giants Celtic, is on his way to English Premier League side Leicester City.
Former Aston Villa manager Dean Smith will not end up with the job after failing to escape relegation.
Maresca’s first-team coaching at Manchester City saw him win the Premier League title, the FA Cup, and the Champions League.
It was said that after the trophy parade with Manchester City, the North Irish manager held talks with the club directors.
Maresca produced an interesting interview which was very impressive. The manager is set to bring outstanding philosophy to the Foxes next season.
Maresca has had previous interest from Southampton in the Championship, but he wanted to continue with Manchester City.
However, Celtic are moving strongly for their formal manager, Brendan Rodgers, to take over the vacant seat at the club.
The 50-year-old manager won seven out of seven available trophies, including two Scottish Premierships, three League Cups, and two Scottish Cups, during his tenure.
Enzo Maresca tactics
Former professional football player Enzo Maresca was a midfielder. He is currently a coach and has held positions with Parma, West Ham United, and Manchester City.
Maresca’s inventiveness, passing prowess, and hard ethic defined his playing style.
He was a flexible player who was capable of manning a number of midfield positions, and he was renowned for his ability to control the game’s tempo.
Maresca has adapted a similar philosophy to his playing style as a coach. He places a strong emphasis on creativity and possession football, and he expects a lot from his players both on and off the ball.
When they both worked for Manchester City, Pep Guardiola described Maresca as “a very good coach” with “a lot of knowledge.”
