Chelsea manager, Enzo Maresca, has emerged as a top candidate to replace Pep Guardiola at Manchester City.
The Athletic reports that this could be Guardiola’s last season at the Etihad.
Maresca is under contract at Stamford Bridge until 2030.
This means that any approach for the Italian coach would need to take place via Chelsea and require significant compensation.
Chelsea is keen to keep Maresca, but his comments after the 2-0 victory over Everton being his “worst 48 hours” have left senior officials confused.
At this point, it is unclear if the remarks are due to a potential vacancy at his former club.
Maresca worked under Guardiola, before taking up the head coach role at Leicester City.
