Leicester have announced the appointment of Enzo Maresca as their new manager on a deal running to 2026 - and he has pledged the club will 'improve' for the coming Championship promotion campaign. The Foxes, along with Leeds United, are one of the favourites to make an instant return to the Premier League following relegation last month.
The 43-year-old Italian arrives at the King Power Stadium having previously been working as part of Pep Guardiola's coaching staff at Manchester City. Maresca succeeds Dean Smith, who failed to prevent Leicester being relegated from the Premier League after taking charge for the final eight games of the 2022-23 season following Brendan Rodgers' exit.
Maresca told Leicester's official website: "I'm very excited because of the club (I'm joining) and because we have a big season ahead of us. At the beginning, the target is to play in the best way we can. From there, we can build, day by day, our idea and our philosophy, and the most important thing is to try to win games.
