Manchester City manager Enzo Maresca appears to have appealed to calmness and consideration in the wake of news claiming that his club has been found guilty of more than 100 breaches relating to the Premier League’s financial regulations.
Maresca was Pep Guardiola’s assistant when City were first charged by the Premier League in February 2023. The Italian coach has since left the club, won three trophies with Leicester City and Chelsea before returning to take on the hot seat that has now ratcheted up in temperature.
No official verdict has yet been communicated, and there is still an appeals process City can use, but the club are staring down the barrel of some very serious punishments, with staggering points deductions and retroactive penalties a real possibility.
Reports claim that the Premier League’s clubs were made aware of the ruling the day before the news was broken across the English media. An hour before the first report dropped, Maresca took to social media to offer an intriguing stance (quite literally).
