Maresca is now expected to take over at City, who may yet win this season's Premier League, four months after his exit from Chelsea.

Expected, but man. Still hard to believe. Somehow he's been there a decade, and yet it feels both like he just arrived and that he's been there forever. Very weird feeling, I guess COVID being smack dab in the middle of his tenure would do that.

I assume an international job is up next? I get the impression he's not got another long megaproject in him and he always said he wanted to do international football before he retires.

I'm not sure his coaching style is fit for a national team. Maybe he'll just retire. This last season was really taxing for him.

Hey it's, his words not mine. He talked about it as recently as February.
