Juanma Lillo returns to Manchester City coaching staff as Pep Guardiola finds replacement for Enzo Maresca following Leicester City move

Juanma Lillo has re-joined Pep Guardiola's Manchester City coaching staff after the treble-winners lost assistant manager Enzo Maresca to Leicester City in June.

Lillo, 57, previously worked for City between 2020 and 2022, helping the club win two Premier League titles and a Carabao Cup.

He left the Etihad Stadium in June 2022 to take up the role of Head Coach at Al-Sadd of the Qatar Stars League.

He was replaced by former West Brom midfielder Enzo Maresca, but the Italian's decision to take the managerial position at Leicester has allowed Lillo to return to Manchester.
