How Maresca is tackling football's impossible job

Enzo Maresca, the new manager of Manchester City, has defied expectations by securing five victories in his first five games, as reported by Getty Images. Replacing the legendary Pep Guardiola, Maresca has made it appear effortless during his early tenure. The team is currently joint-top of the Premier League with Arsenal, and it appears the two sides will compete for the title once again.

Maresca's most notable win came with a 1-0 victory over Manchester United at Old Trafford, despite being down to 10 men due to Phil Foden's red card. The manager exhibited calmness, much like his approach to the media and in training. Maresca's composure and tactical adjustments, such as shifting Rayan Cherki to the right and replacing him with Iliman Ndiaye, have proven crucial to City's success.

While Maresca has made some changes, he has also maintained Guardiola's fundamentals. The new manager prefers a more subdued demeanor compared to his predecessor, who was often seen jumping around during games. Maresca introduced loud house music in training to create a more positive environment for the players. Maresca's arrival at City has drawn comparisons to David Moyes' uneventful tenure at Manchester United, but Maresca downplays the pressure.

City's season began with a 3-0 defeat at Arsenal in the Community Shield, but the team has since rebounded with five consecutive victories. Maresca's first two fixtures will be against Norwich in the Carabao Cup and Sunderland in the Premier League.
