Pep Guardiola: “He did an incredible job”

Maresca has been Guardiola’s right-hand man for the past season, helping Manchester City to win a historic treble. But first-team assistant manager was not his first job at the club.

In 2020, Maresca was appointed as the head coach of the club’s development squad. He guided them to their first Premier League 2 title.


On that success, Guardiola said: “I am delighted for Enzo Maresca, his staff and all of the players. It’s a fantastic achievement. Not only has the team showed incredible consistency, they have played brilliant football. They always want to attack, score goals, work hard and dominate matches. Some of their performances have been exceptional.”

The following season, after Maresca had left to become Parma manager, Guardiola again praised the Italian’s work after a 6-1 Carabao Cup victory over Wycombe in which he fielded many of Man City’s young players. He said: “I just want to say thank you to Enzo Maresca.

“Last season he did an incredible job with these players. An incredible job. I know it because we worked together in training many times and I saw them, the way they play, their understanding of the game. They are well-educated.”

Imagine us having a manager who knows that the development squad needs to be connected to the first team. Enzo must have blown Rudkin’s mind when he talked about that during the interview.

He'll change his mind once he's seen Paul Appiah attempt to play football lol

Imagine his face if that lad devontay daley Thompson (or whatever he was called) was still here. 

 

I've never seen a lad look less like a professional footballer.

Enzo,

in blazing squad he likes Kenzo,

out of ten chickens he likes Henz-O,

he drives a Mercedes Benzo,

he asked out a girl but was Friendzo,

Mr Miyagi is his Senzo,

so for me it is a Yenzo!

I don't know how that sounded in your head, but it hasn't come off

This is very encouraging. If he develops players as well as people say, maybe now we'll see the Seagrave facilities properly used to what it was designed for. 

 

He likes working with younger players as well, and that is what we need, with a mixture of experience

 

Yes but can he manage to get KDH to use his right foot? That will be the real test!

Feck me, I'm actually excited about this if we get Enzo. I don't imagine it's going to be all sweetness and light, but it is hopefully going to be enjoyable and successful.

This was Arteta's first decent season out of 4 for Arsenal to be fair

Right you are.

 

And damn, I was trying to put a positive spin on it, even if just for myself rather the anyone else.

 

Fwiw, I reckon Arteta could struggle next season having been 'found out' towards the end of the season but that's for another discussion.

This is an excellent thread, nothing too ground breaking but think it shows he's not just a pep tribute act.

Can see KDH thriving in that tactic as one of the wide 8s. 

Also gives me great hope that Cole Palmer would fancy linking back up with him

Ah no it wasn't a slight on Maresca. I'm happy we've identified somebody a little outside the box.

 

I just don't like Arteta and Arsenal fans making out he's the Messiah all of a sudden lol

Playing personnel is going to be massive to determine what he can do. Let’s get him through the door first!

 

But I think the keeper needing to be good with his feet is huge. I could see Stolarczyk coming back and / or us offering Caballero from Southampton a one year deal.
