Maresca’s first taste of senior management arrived in 2021 but he lasted just 180 days with Italian club Parma, winning only four of his 14 games in charge.

The Italian, who previously had a stint in charge of Manchester City’s under-23 side, returned to the club to work as manager Pep Guardiola’s assistant in June 2022.

After playing a role in City’s Treble-winning campaign in 2022-23, Maresca moved to King Power Stadium and succeeded in getting Leicester back to the Premier League at the first time of asking as champions.

The Foxes said in a statement they were “disappointed that Enzo has decided at this stage he no longer wants to be part of our vision” having established “promising foundations during his single season in charge”.

The club added: “However, with Enzo’s decision made and the board’s terms for his departure met, we wish him well in his future endeavours. He leaves with the appreciation of everyone at the club for his work in helping us to achieve an immediate return to the Premier League during the 2023-24 season.”
