you can use onChange client script with GlideAjax and show the field message

Something like this

Script Include: Client callable

var GroupManagerUtils = Class.create();
GroupManagerUtils.prototype = Object.extendsObject(AbstractAjaxProcessor, {
    getManagerName: function() {
        var groupId = this.getParameter('sysparm_group_id');
        var group = new GlideRecord('sys_user_group');
        if (group.get(groupId)) {
            var manager = group.getDisplayValue('manager');
            return manager;
        }
        return '';
    },
    type: 'GroupManagerUtils'
});

onChange client script on Assignment Group field:

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading, isTemplate) {
    if (isLoading || newValue === '') {
        return;
    }
    if(newValue != oldValue){
    var ga = new GlideAjax('GroupManagerUtils');
    ga.addParam('sysparm_name', 'getManagerName');
    ga.addParam('sysparm_group_id', newValue);
    ga.getXMLAnswer(function(response) {
        var managerName = response;
        if (managerName) {
            g_form.showFieldMsg('assignment_group', 'Manager: ' + managerName, 'info');
        } else {
            g_form.showFieldMsg('assignment_group', 'No manager found for this group', 'info');
        }
    });
}
}
