It's a privilege to succeed Guardiola at Man City
Enzo Maresca has been appointed as the new manager of Manchester City, succeeding Pep Guardiola. Maresca expressed that taking on the role is a privilege and emphasized the importance of the club's organizational stability.
Why it matters
Manchester City is one of the most successful football clubs in the world, and this transition marks a significant change in leadership for the Premier League powerhouse.
Enzo Maresca said Friday it is a “privilege” to follow Pep Guardiola as manager of Manchester City.
Former Chelsea and Leicester boss Maresca was named as Guardiola’s successor after the Catalan stepped down at the end of last season, having won 20 trophies during a superbly successful 10-year spell at the Etihad Stadium.
“First of all, I have to say that it’s a privilege,” said the Italian in his first press conference as City boss.
“I’ve said many times that I consider Pep probably the best coach in the world in the last 20, 25 years. But again, it’s a challenge. It’s nice. It’s a privilege.”
