Enzo Maresca, the newly appointed manager of Manchester City, has made it clear that he is not dwelling on the legacy of his former boss, Pep Guardiola, despite taking over the club after Guardiola's long and successful tenure. Guardiola, who left the club in the summer, is widely regarded as one of the greatest managers in football history. During his ten years at Manchester City, he led the team to its first-ever Champions League title, six Premier League titles, and two trebles—winning the league, FA Cup, and Champions League in the same season. A stand at the Etihad Stadium is even named after him in recognition of his achievements. Maresca, who previously worked as an assistant to Guardiola, called his former manager a "legend," but emphasized that the focus now is on the present and the new era under his leadership. Maresca has started the season strongly, guiding Manchester City to six consecutive wins across all competitions, giving them a perfect 100% start to the Premier League season. While he respects Guardiola's legacy, he believes it is important not to be distracted by the past. He also noted that the current squad is largely different from the one he previously worked with, as several key players, including Bernardo Silva, Rodri, John Stones, and Nathan Ake, have left the club this summer. Maresca mentioned that only three or four players from his last season remain, and his main focus is now on building relationships with the current team and helping them achieve success together. Despite the transition and the challenges that come with a new manager and a changed squad, Maresca expressed confidence in the club's ability to perform well. He acknowledged that the club was going through a period of change after a decade with the same manager, but he is optimistic about the future. Looking ahead, Maresca noted that the upcoming match against Sunderland could be one of the toughest challenges of the season so far. However, he also mentioned that Jeremy Doku, a key player who has been sidelined with an injury, might be close to returning to fitness, which could provide a significant boost to the team's performance.
