Leicester City has full confidence in retaining manager Enzo Maresca for the upcoming season, as reported by Football Insider. The Foxes are preparing to offer the 44-year-old a new contract.
Maresca took over as Leicester manager last year, succeeding Dean Smith at The King Power Stadium after leaving his role as assistant to Pep Guardiola at Manchester City. Despite the club’s relegation to the Championship, Maresca orchestrated a swift turnaround and secured their promotion back to the Premier League as title winners with a 3-0 victory over Preston North End.
Although Sevilla has shown interest in Maresca, who played for the Spanish club for four years, Leicester remains calm about his future and plans to extend his contract as a reward for his success. His current contract runs until the end of the 2025/26 season, ensuring his presence at The King Power Stadium.
Leicester’s impressive performance under Maresca’s guidance, including the potential 100 points they could finish the season with, indicates that he is likely to stay for the challenge of establishing the club in the Premier League. Despite criticisms of his playing style and certain results, Leicester sees Maresca as the right man to lead them forward.
