Maresca insists he ‘trusts the club’ and believes Man City will win appeal against financial charges

Enzo Maresca expressed unwavering trust in Manchester City and its management as the club continues to contest guilty verdicts for serious breaches of Premier League financial rules. Despite being found guilty by an independent commission, City has denied any wrongdoing and has filed an appeal. Maresca, the club's boss, emphasized that the ongoing process has not affected his belief in the club or the individuals governing it, stating, "I completely trust the club."

He further clarified that there is no other club he would prefer to be a part of, expressing his pride in being with City. Maresca dismissed any notion that the verdict has altered his perspective on City's previous successes, such as the treble-winning season under Pep Guardiola, stating, "Absolutely not." He highlighted the immense effort put in by the players, club, and manager at that time, including Pep Guardiola, and expressed no doubt about their achievements.

The City boss noted that the club expects to win the appeal, suggesting it would be the appropriate time to discuss the case in greater detail. He acknowledged the seriousness of the situation but assured that players and staff are fully aware of its significance. Maresca reiterated his confidence in the club's hierarchy and their management of the process, emphasizing that the organization has consistently done the right things and that he anticipates a successful outcome in the appeal.
