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.
He was the assistant manager to Pep Guardiola at Manchester City in 2022-23, before that acting as coach of their Under-23 squad.
His only previous Serie A coaching role was at Parma for just 14 games in 2021.
