Manchester City’s succession planning has positioned Enzo Maresca as the clear frontrunner to replace Pep Guardiola, driven by his prior role as the Catalan’s assistant at the Etihad and his recent Premier League experience managing Leicester City and Chelsea. Reports from late April and mid-May 2026 confirm positive internal discussions and Maresca’s willingness to return, aligning with speculation that Guardiola could depart after the current campaign despite occasional hints of an extension. Traders view his tactical familiarity and availability as decisive advantages over other names. A Guardiola contract renewal or a late shift toward candidates such as Vincent Kompany or Andoni Iraola represent the main realistic paths that could alter the current implied probabilities.
