Manchester City have held “positive talks” with Enzo Maresca, the former Chelsea manager, about succeeding Pep Guardiola.

Guardiola’s future at Manchester City remains a source of great speculation.

The Spaniard is presently nearing the end of his current contract with City.

The club’s hierarchy is now drawing up a succession plan that could see a familiar face return to the Etihad Stadium.

According to The Guardian, Maresca has emerged as a leading candidate to take the reins.

This comes amid rumours that Guardiola will walk away this summer.

City remain optimistic that Guardiola will see out his contract until 2027, but they are taking no chances.
