Who is Enzo Maresca? Celtic weigh up man who grabs bulls by the horns and suffered Parma fiasco

The joke when talk of Ange Postecoglou moving to Spurs started to escalate was that he couldn't possibly turn down the chance of going to stadiums such as the Etihad over The Spaghettihad.

Yet one man being considered by Celtic as Postecoglou's replacement would have to make that switch in the opposite direction. And for Enzo Maresca it's the Etihad that is actually his current home as he assists Pep Guardiola at Manchester City.

So why would the 43-year-old Italian sacrifice the home of the Treble-chasing English champions for the likes of Livingston? Especially when you consider he will stand in the dug-out on Saturday night hoping to get his hands on the biggest prize in club football as City face Inter Milan in the Champions League final in Istanbul. Well, it's one thing being a number two at a big club and quite another being your own man – as he found out during a shortlived spell in charge of Parma. Here, Record Sport examines Maresca's credentials as talk of a potential move to Parkhead ramps up.

Maresca played as a midfielder for a host of clubs, mainly in Italy, but made the step up from youth level for the first time in England with West Brom. He would enjoy success in Italy with Juventus lifting the Serie A title in 2000, and also winning the Supercoppa. His spell in Turin wasn't without controversy, as he famously did a bull horns celebration against rivals Torino – mimicking the symbol of the club. He later was on the brink of a move to Toro, but the deal collapsed due to supporter outrage. He also enjoyed a trophy-laden spell in Sevilla where he picked up Copa del Rey, Supercopa and two UEFA Cup medals, one of which was won at Hampden.

He was the coach of the Manchester City under-23 side before
