Trusted journalist Fabrizio Romano revealed that the Italian coach Enzo Mariska is still present on Manchester City's list of potential candidates to take over the coaching role in the future, confirming that he is highly regarded within the club's corridors, despite there being no agreement or official steps at the moment.

Romano explained that Manchester City's management has not made any decision regarding the future of the coaching staff, amid the current full focus of the current coach Pep Guardiola on this season's competitions, noting that Guardiola has shown no intention to leave so far, making all the proposed names merely possible future options.

The report added that Mariska's presence on Manchester City's list remains linked only to the possibility of Guardiola's departure in the future, as the Italian coach is viewed as one of the pupils influenced by Pep's philosophy, especially given his previous work within the club's technical staff.

This interest comes despite Enzo Mariska's dismissal from coaching Chelsea, a step that has not ended his coaching status in the eyes of City, as he is still considered a promising coaching project, with full respect for Guardiola and no desire to take any step that conflicts with Manchester City's stability at the current stage.
