What happened: Enzo Maresca has signed a three-year deal to become Manchester City's new head coach, taking over from Pep Guardiola. The move was completed after Maresca agreed to pay a compensation package to his former club, Chelsea, where he had been under contract.

Why it matters: The appointment closes one of the summer's biggest managerial questions, installing Maresca as the man tasked with following Guardiola's era at the Etihad. It also caps a saga that has built for weeks, after City had long been expected to confirm Maresca on a three-year deal.

What to watch: Attention turns to how City reshape their squad and staff under Maresca ahead of the 2026 season, and to the final terms of the compensation settled with Chelsea.
