The new Manchester City manager discussed the challenge of succeeding Pep Guardiola and his approach to the job.
New Manchester City head coach Enzo Maresca has spoken about his return to the club, acknowledging the significant challenge of stepping into the role after Pep Guardiola.
It is a privilege to work at the club after Pep Guardiola, but it is also a big challenge because we have seen that clubs always have difficulties after managers of this scale. I am aware of that. Enzo Maresca
Maresca highlighted that he maintains close contact with Guardiola, noting they met recently to discuss the profession. Despite the high standards expected at the Etihad Stadium, the manager emphasized that he remains calm and focused on daily progress rather than just the end-of-season outcome.
The Italian tactician made it clear that he is not at the club to replicate his predecessor's methods, but rather to implement his own understanding and vision of football. While he acknowledges the necessity of winning titles at a club like City, he insists his current priority is working with the players on the training ground to help them reach a new level.
