Manchester City manager Enzo Maresca has hit back at critics and firmly rejected claims that the club’s past trophy triumphs are tarnished following recent Premier League financial breach verdicts.
Speaking directly to the media ahead of City’s crucial clash against Liverpool, the Italian manager insisted that the honours achieved on the pitch—including the historic treble season during his time as assistant coach—remain completely untarnished by legal battles.
When asked directly whether the titles feel tainted, Maresca offered an emphatic response: “Absolutely not. The last time I was here was the treble season. I know the effort from the players, the club, the manager at that time. I know exactly the effort the club put to achieve that target. I don’t have any doubt about that.”
Maresca emphasized that his focus remains entirely on coaching and maintaining high team morale while the club’s legal hierarchy manages the ongoing appeal process. Reaffirming his commitment to the Etihad outfit, he expressed total pride in leading the squad and placed unwavering trust in the management.
