Manchester City's director of football Txiki Begiristain has paid tribute to Enzo Maresca.

The former City assistant coach has left to take charge of Leicester City.

Begiristain said: “Enzo has played an important role in what has been a remarkable season for Manchester City.

“Having already previously enjoyed success with our Elite Development Squad, he brought those same qualities to our first team set-up and his efforts have been appreciated by Pep, his backroom team and the club as a whole.

“This move to Leicester City is a significant chapter in his coaching development, and one that I am sure he will excel in."
