To prepare for life after Pep Guardiola, Manchester City’s leadership has reportedly chosen Enzo Maresca as his successor. Eager to strengthen the squad for their new coach, the Citizens are eyeing a move for Malo Gusto, a player with whom Maresca already shares a strong connection. The timing aligns well, as Chelsea is actively pursuing a new right-back of their own: Marco Palestra.
Despite a contract running until June 30, 2027, Pep Guardiola has bid farewell to Manchester City. After a decade of dominance with the Citizens, the Spanish manager is moving on. “I am so nervous. Why do you love me so much? Why are you doing this to me? I could never have imagined such an outpouring of affection. It has been a tremendous honour to coach such a club. The players know I will keep watching them! They know they have a great responsibility to uphold these standards, which is why they keep fighting again and again. This will always be my home, and if you see me, come say hello and give me a hug!” Guardiola said after his final match in charge of the English side.
Manchester city ready to bring malo gusto to enzo maresca
To fill the void left by Pep Guardiola, the Manchester City hierarchy has opted to place its trust in Enzo Maresca. As the summer transfer window opens, the Citizens are reportedly planning to reward their incoming manager. According to insider information, the top brass at Manchester City are considering a move for Malo Gusto. The France international, currently taking part in the 2026 World Cup, shares a solid rapport with Enzo Maresca, having played under him at Chelsea between July 2024 and January 2026.
Malo gusto’s connection with enzo maresca could prove decisive
The Malo Gusto (23 years old) case appears to be moving in a favourable direction for Manchester City. Chelsea have already made a move to secure another right-back, namely Marco Palestra (Cagliari, 21 years old), which could open the door for Gusto’s departure.
