This will be my third spell here. I understand the club, its demands, and expectations.
The quality of the people working here makes it so special, and I want to thank them for believing in my abilities.
I’m eager to get started with the players. I want us to win, play good football, and embrace the pressure that comes with representing Manchester City,” Maresca added following his official introduction.
