The summer plans for Manchester City won’t change with a change of manager
The summer plans for Manchester City won’t change with a change of manager Barring a spectacular U-turn by Pep Guardiola, this summer will see major upheaval at Manchester City. It seems to be only a matter of time before Pep Guardiola’s decision to step down after a trophy-laden decade in charge of City is made official. The expectation is, as reported by Fabrizio Romano , that Enzo Maresca will replace Guardiola as Manchester City’s manager.
Despite the imminent change at City, the summer plans in terms of transfers or forward planning will not change for the club. Manchester City are too professional and too well run to see their summer and future plans altered. Manchester City will press on with their summer transfer plans despite the imminent change of manager.
An excellent report from Pete Hall and Mark Douglas for iNews has emerged. The iNews report has provided an update on Manchester City’s bid to sign Elliot Anderson this summer. As per the iNews report, a Manchester City move to sign Elliot Anderson from Nottingham Forest is well advanced, and the expected change of manager at City will not disrupt their plan.
Enzo Maresca is also on board with City’s move for Anderson, and the player himself is keen to sign for City no matter who is manager. Also, iNews reports that Manchester City CEO Ferran Soriano has been integral to establishing City as the force they are. Also, Hugo Viana has impressed those who work in football ever since taking over as Manchester City’s Director of Football.
Everything at Manchester City is in position for a seamless transition from Pep Guardiola as manager to Enzo Maresca. On Enzo Maresca, David Ornstein has reported for The Athletic that the Italian manager has already begun work on his plans for Manchester City’s 2026-27 pre season and summer transfer dealings. Furthermore, Ornstein reports that Maresca and Hugo Viana are already working together to plan for what lies ahead when Maresca steps in as Manchester City manager.
