Pep Guardiola was duly praised on his way out of the Etihad one last time. 20 titles for the club, Manchester City have with the Spaniard established themselves at the top of the ball island and out in Europe. Now Enzo Maresca is on his way in, but there are still some negotiations to be done. The biggest one happens at Stamford Bridge.
Because according to Sky Sports, there is one last hurdle that must be overcome before the Italian can be presented as the new head coach at the Etihad Stadium. The British media claims City are currently in negotiations with Chelsea about a compensation amount for Maresca. When the former Guardiola assistant left the London club in January, he had three and a half years left on his contract.

There is also another negotiation going on. Sky Sports claim that there are still some details left in Maresca’s contract with City, but here too there is nothing to put a grip on the deal.
