Manchester City manager Enzo Maresca has remained tight-lipped about his future at the club until the outcome of their appeal against Premier League financial rule breaches is known. Speaking about the independent commission's verdict, which threatens City's top-flight status and their legacy, Maresca expressed his total trust in the club and its leadership.
He stated that he would only comment on his future once the appeal is won. Maresca, who replaced Pep Guardiola as City's manager, emphasized that he trusts the club's people and decision-making process. The commission found that City had hidden over £900 million in funding from their Abu Dhabi ownership over a nine-year period between 2009 and 2018, allowing them to meet Premier League spending rules.
Despite this, City maintains their innocence, claiming the verdict has "clear material errors, of law, principle and fact." The club has lodged an appeal, and Maresca revealed he would have accepted the job in the summer even if the guilty verdict had already been announced.
