Maresca Says It's a 'Privilege' to Succeed Guardiola at Man City

Maresca starts a managerial transition that includes a Community Shield meeting with Arsenal and a Premier League opener against Bournemouth.

  • On Friday, new Manchester City manager Enzo Maresca led his first training session, confirming he would not make radical changes to the club's playing style under predecessor Pep Guardiola.
  • Appointed last month to replace Guardiola, Maresca praised the club's organization, noting that City's stable structure and his familiarity with the team support a smooth transition.
  • Regarding his roster, Maresca offered a potential route back for Jack Grealish while confirming captain Rodri requires back surgery, stating, "around big players there are always speculations so I am not worried about that."
  • While preparing for the Community Shield clash against Arsenal on August 16, Maresca is working with young players as many first-team squad members remain on holiday after the World Cup.
  • Highlighting the club's unique structure, Maresca aims to avoid post-manager difficulties seen at Manchester United and Arsenal, stating, "This club has had three managers in 17 years, that's not normal and doesn't happen.
