Strong rumours today that Man City want Maresca to replace Pep in the summer.
Chelsea have declined to comment on reports linking Enzo Maresca with Man City. He is contracted until 2030, and any approach for him would need to take place via Chelsea and require significant compensation.
Chelsea also want to keep Enzo Maresca.
Ben Jacobs and others reporting.

I doubt Pep will leave once he wins the Premier league this season.
{Ed001's Note - he has wanted to leave for years mate, they keep persuading him to stay. Nothing to do with winning, he just wants a break.}

He might have wanted to leave but never did, if he builds another league winning side there is every chance he would stay, at least 50-50.
{Ed001's Note - no mate, it has been accepted his time is coming to a close and they are searching for his replacement. Before now, they just focused on persuading him to stay, this is the first time they have actively searched for the next man in. Last summer, they even brought in the other Pep to enable him to step back a bit to give them a bit more time to find his replacement.}

If that is the case, do you think City might move away from the way they currently play similar to when Klopp left Liverpool, actually how about Klopp taking over.

Klopp to City, I like it.
{Ed001's Note - not happening, he has retired from club management and has been quite clear he would not manage any other English club than Liverpool.}

What a shame. A match made in heaven.
{Ed001's Note - hardly. Wrong manager for them entirely. His personality is all wrong to work with their structure.}

Bill, we all know you don't like Maresca but he is very talented and the big boys know it. We have a gem of a manager and need to keep him.

Ed, “Tis the season to be merry”
That’s exactly what I meant. A match made in heaven.
