LEICESTER boss Enzo Maresca is rated a top Sevilla target.

And even if the Italian takes the Foxes straight back up to the Premier League in his first season, he could return to the Spanish club where he made his name.

Former Watford manager Quique Sanchez Flores is under pressure with his Sevilla side just 13th in LaLiga.

And Relevo claim their ex-midfielder Maresca, 44 would be one of three main contenders lined up to replace him.

Real Madrid legend Raul, who has been coaching Bernabeu junior teams, is also said to be in the running.

The third man on Sevilla’s reported wish-list is Jagoba Arrasate – currently manager at their top-flight rivals Osasuna.

Maresca’s strong coaching reputation in England is based on two spells working under Pep Guardiola at Manchester City.

He also spent 13 months inbetween as Parma chief in Serie A.

And in June 2023 he departed  the Etihad again for a second stab at being the main man in the dugout.

The Foxes pounced for the former West Brom and Juventus player following relegation from the Prem.

And Leicester romped 17 points clear in the Championship with flowing, attacking football.

But a remarkable slump, including three straight losses, sent Maresca’s men out of the two automatic promotion spots.

And only a recent revival has taken them back up to second spot.

However, Leicester face a probe for allegedly breaking Prem financial rules before their demotion.

And even if they go up, that investigation might be another factor for Maresca to ponder.
