Enzo Maresca had no hesitation in jumping at the opportunity to replace Pep Guardiola as the manager of Manchester City. Following in Guardiola’s footsteps may have been a challenge that some managers would have side stepped. However, Enzo Maresca had no such reservations and he is honoured to have the opportunity to be Manchester City’s next manager after Guardiola’s decade of dominance. Listening to Maresca speak, he knows what is expected at Manchester City and it is a challenge that he is excited by and not one he is daunted by.
It is a privilege to be the manager of Manchester City and not a burden, Enzo Maresca has explained.
Yesterday, Enzo Maresca faced the media ahead of Manchester City’s final preseason friendly against Atletico Madrid in Seoul. The Manchester City manager was asked if he felt any pressure following on from Pep Guardiola’s spell at City. Maresca said he did not. He added that it is a privilege to be managing Manchester City. The Italian manager explained: “No pressure, just privilege. For me it’s a huge privilege to be here and be City manager. In terms of expectations, this is a club that needs to win titles and compete for titles and we are going to try to do exactly the same.”
Enzo Maresca isn’t afraid of the challenge that lies ahead.
Listening to Enzo Maresca speak ever since he became Manchester City manager, there is a level of confidence and assuredness that shines through. The Italian manager believes he is in the right environment to succeed. He is also honoured to have the opportunity to succeed Pep Guardiola. Maresca isn’t daunted by the challenge ahead. This attitude from Maresca should see him embrace the challenge ahead.
Enzo Maresca has already begun implementing his own ideas at Manchester City. That has been impossible to ignore during City’s two preseason matches. Also, at training, Maresca is actively working to get his ideas across. This was impossible to ignore during Manchester City’s open training session yesterday. Maresca has the confidence in his own abilities to face the challenge in front of him. It won’t be a lack of hard work that inhibits him either.
Enzo Maresca isn’t feeling any pressure to succeed Pep Guardiola. In fact, it is the opposite. Maresca feels it is a privilege to manage Manchester City. The Italian manager’s attitude should set him up to succeed in a role that many others would feel daunted by taking on.
Interestiñg that the City website is going to release an interview tomorrow with Maresco talking about his love of fashion.
So its looking like it wasnt the furnace like temperatures in Manchester that caused him to wear a City scarf like he didnt have a clue what to do with one.
I have to say that as someone who worked in Milan it always amazed me how even a casually dressed Italian can still make a well dressed Englishman look like a tramp!
Every City regular that I have bumped into in the last couple of days seem to say the following: 1) they are all looking forward to the season and are very optimistic 2) Rhodri can go and not kept for a final season. 3) all were sorry to lose Pep and it was a great 10 years BUT they could not face another season with him. 4) we will do better in Europe.
As someone once commented opinions are like a certain orifice everyones has one.
1)Everyone always looks forward to a new season
2) Rodri should be compelled to see out his remaining contract if the club he wants to join expects to sign him on the cheap
There is a lot to be said for Rodri remaining for one more season to ease his transition out of the club and his replacement in. Anyone who cant see his worth to any team can always pop in to a local specsavers
I personally would prefer to see him go but at the price the club determine not what the buying club want to pay.
3) On Pep to quote an old song “you dont know what youve got til its gone”. Youre observation doesnt surprise me. It was always thus.
The general comment about Pep was not actually about getting rid of him but emotionally over the last couple of seasons is that he has become hard work .He also seems to be unsure of his future and there has been too much instability.
Like many We all felt that Pep had reached the end of a very long road and was running out of ideas. We all know “what we had” but it must always come to an end and NONE of us wished him gone but his time had clearly come. My comments are merely a take, as I said, from local regulars and hardly a debate. Just like bores every office has one
Understood.
Im not sure Pep has run out of ideas but I think more than anything else hes tired just very tired and deserves his break in whatever form that takes.
Am I right in thinking that the Braydon commenting on the match yesterday was the same little lad who appeared alongside Pep in the taxi when he first joined the club? If so a really nice touch from the background team.
Yeah it was the lad from the taxi with Pep I’m 99% sure.
