Enzo Maresca takes the reins at Manchester City for the 2026-27 season, stepping in after Pep Guardiola’s legendary 10-year tenure. With domestic cups secured in Pep’s final year but the Premier League slipping away, Maresca now faces the challenge of reshaping a squad reshuffled over the past 18 months. Preseason begins July 28th with a tour of East Asia — featuring a Hong Kong rematch with Inter Milan, a K-League XI in Seoul, and a showdown with Atletico Madrid — before culminating in the Community Shield against Arsenal in Cardiff (due to a concert clash). Key World Cup players are returning to training, with Erling Haaland expected back just before the Shield, while captain Rodri sits out for surgery and rumored Real Madrid moves. The Premier League opener against Bournemouth is set for August 23rd, followed by four more games including the Manchester derby at Old Trafford, before the first international break on September 21st.
