Maresca the 'perfect person for the job'
The Manchester City squad is "buying into the idea" of new manager Enzo Maresca, says new captain Ruben Dias. City spent a Premier League record £458m during the recent transfer window, with incomings including midfield trio Enzo Fernandez, Elliot Anderson and Ayyoub Bouaddi. Maresca replaced the legendary Pep Guardiola, who stepped down at the end of last season after 10 years in charge.
Manchester City's new manager Enzo Maresca is gaining the approval of the squad, according to newly-appointed captain Ruben Dias. The club made significant investments during the recent transfer window, adding midfielders Enzo Fernandez, Elliot Anderson, and Ayyoub Bouaddi, among others. However, the changes extended beyond the playing roster as Maresca replaced long-time manager Pep Guardiola.
Dias acknowledged Guardiola's departure as a challenging moment for the club, but emphasized that Maresca was the ideal choice given his familiarity with the institution. The Italian's unique approach to training, pressing and defending, resonates with the team, creating a sense of unity and enthusiasm. Dias noted that everyone is excited about the new direction and there is a palpable joy during training sessions, which he feels is crucial for the team's success.
