With Pep Guardiola moving on after a decade in charge, Manchester City are preparing for a new era under Enzo Maresca. The club’s board is eager to back the incoming manager with a marquee signing, and the name at the top of the list is France international Malo Gusto.
Guardiola bid an emotional farewell after his final match in charge. “I’m so nervous. Why do you love me so much? Why are you doing this to me? I never could have imagined this amount of love. It has been an immense honour to coach such a club. The players know I will continue to watch them! They know they have a great responsibility to maintain these standards, and that is why they keep fighting. This will always be my home, and if you see me, come and give me a hug!” the Spaniard said.
Manchester city want to give malo gusto to enzo maresca
To fill the void left by Guardiola, City have turned to Enzo Maresca. With the summer transfer window now open, the Citizens plan to delight their new coach. Sources indicate that the club’s hierarchy are actively pursuing Malo Gusto. The 23-year-old French international, currently competing in the 2026 World Cup, shares a strong bond with Maresca from their time together at Chelsea between July 2024 and January 2026.

The path to signing Gusto appears clear. Chelsea, meanwhile, have moved to secure another right‑back, targeting 21‑year‑old Marco Palestra from Cagliari. This development could accelerate Manchester City’s efforts to bring Gusto to the Etihad, reuniting him with a coach who knows his game intimately.
