'A disaster' if Man City do not win says Maresca after flawless start
MANCHESTER: Manchester City manager Enzo Maresca said his fine start succeeding Pep Guardiola will be quickly forgotten if he does not continue to deliver wins.
Manchester City manager Enzo Maresca has emphasized the importance of winning games, stating that his impressive start under Pep Guardiola will quickly be forgotten if City fail to secure victories. Maresca, tasked with replacing Guardiola after his 10-year tenure, has achieved six consecutive wins across three competitions since losing the Community Shield to Arsenal during pre-season.
His most notable win came last weekend when City defeated Manchester United 1-0, despite playing with a man down due to an early red card for Phil Foden. Backed by a record £460 million investment in players, Maresca has also had to deal with significant departures, including Spain's World Cup-winning captain Rodri. In preparation for Sunderland's Premier League match, Maresca acknowledged the difficulty of his situation, expressing that a loss would be a disaster.
He remains focused on the next game and improving the team, prioritizing rest for his key players after their recent back-to-back 90-minute matches.
