Manchester City will most likely appoint Enzo Maresca as Pep Guardiola’s replacement.
Guardiola’s future at the Etihad is the subject of intense speculation.
There are rumours that the former Barcelona and Bayern Munich will step aside from the role this summer.
City are yet to get a definitive answer from Guardiola about his plans, but they have pinpointed Maresca as his successor.
This was revealed by football transfer expert, Fabrizio Romano, via his X account on Thursday.
Romano wrote: “Manchester City will let Pep Guardiola decide what he wants to do with his future.
“As reported since January, Enzo Maresca is the favorite candidate if/when Pep decides to leave.
“Despite reports on Kompany, #MCFC really appreciate Maresca.”
