Italian reports suggest former Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca met with Napoli this week and is open to the job, but would give Manchester City his preference.<\/p>\n

Maresca was already back in the news because Chelsea fired his replacement, Liam Rosenior, today just four months after he was dismissed on January 1.<\/p>\n

According to Tuttomercatoweb, the Italian has no intention of going back to Stamford Bridge, and is working on his next job for the 2026-27 campaign.<\/p>\n

It is reported he had a meeting in London over the last few days with representatives of Napoli President Aurelio De Laurentiis.<\/p>\n

This was a positive encounter, Maresca seemingly confirming he would be ready to accept the job if Antonio Conte walks away this summer.<\/p>\n

However, if Manchester City were to step forward with a proposal, then Maresca would give them the priority because of his history with the club.<\/p>\n

He was the assistant manager to Pep Guardiola at Manchester City in 2022-23, before that acting as coach of their Under-23 squad.<\/p>\n

His only previous Serie A coaching role was at Parma for just 14 games in 2021.<\/p>\n
