Key Takeaways
- Enzo Maresca is speaking with Manchester City after leaving Chelsea
- Pep Guardiola is being considered for the Italy head coach role
- Chelsea Women have offered a big deal to Man City striker Khadija Shaw
Enzo Maresca is free to join any club after stepping down as Chelsea head coach, and Manchester City have opened talks with the Italian, sources say. The move comes as City brace for the possible exit of Pep Guardiola, whose name has been floated for the vacant Italy national team post.
Guardiola has never managed a country before. The Italian FA is looking for a new boss after Gennaro Gattuso left the role. City have not said when Guardiola’s current deal ends, but fans fear he could go this summer.
Meanwhile, Chelsea Women hope to lure Khadija “Bunny” Shaw across Manchester. The 29-year-old Jamaica striker is out of contract in June, and Chelsea have tabled a package worth at least £1 million a year.
Aston Villa forward Morgan Rogers is also on the radar of several Premier League and European sides, while Como boss Cesc Fabregas says he is happy in Italy despite links to big English clubs.
