Manchester City's new manager Enzo Maresca has a daunting task ahead of him, following in the footsteps of Pep Guardiola.
What's the challenge?
Maresca must convince players to follow him, with a strong track record including a Premier League 2 title with City's elite development squad and a Conference League win with Chelsea.
Can he close the gap?
Manchester City finished 7 points behind Arsenal last season, and Maresca's mission is to overhaul this gap. The team's recent form has been patchy, with a last result of Manchester City 1-2 Aston Villa on 2026-05-24.
Transfer news
Rodri's future is uncertain, with the midfielder offering mixed messages about his desire to stay. A potential replacement is Nottingham Forest's Elliot Anderson, who is on the verge of signing for £116m.
Current standing
| Category | Value |
|---|---|
| League standing | 2nd in Premier League, 78 pts, 23W-9D-6L from 38 games |
| Goals this season | 77 scored, 35 conceded (+42 goal difference) |
| Recent form | 1W-2D-2L (LLDDW, most recent first) |
What's next?
Maresca will need to work closely with the hierarchy, including Khaldoon al-Mubarak, to ensure the team has the right backing to succeed. With the right support, Maresca can build on Guardiola's legacy and bring success to Manchester City.
