Manchester City appoint Enzo Maresca as new manager in a staggering €20m deal, but where does his fee rank amongst the most expensive managers in history

Manchester City have reached a verbal agreement with Chelsea to sign Italian head coach Maresca, despite his contract at Stamford Bridge running until 2029. Maresca has reportedly signed a three-year deal with the English club, but City had to pay a significant compensation fee to release him from his Chelsea contract. The fee is believed to be around €20 million, one of the highest ever paid for a head coach.

This move would make Maresca the third most expensive head coach in history, behind Graham Potter and Julian Nagelsmann, who both commanded €25 million fees. Maresca's transfer would surpass José Mourinho's 2010 move from Inter Milan to Real Madrid, which cost €16 million in compensation. The substantial fee underscores Manchester City's desire to appoint Maresca as the successor to Pep Guardiola.
