Watch: Mancity Manager Preview ahead of tomorrow showdown with Chelsea fc

 Pep Guardiola says he’s pleased to see the successful season Enzo Maresca’s is having at Chelsea so far.

The pair worked and enjoyed huge success together at City when the current Londoners head worked as the Catalan’s assistant in 2022/23 – helping the Blues to our iconic Treble success at the end of that campaign.

Since then, Maresca led Leicester to the Championship title last term before taking the reins at Chelsea – where he currently has them sat fourth in the Premier League table.

That’s one place and two points above City heading into Saturday’s clash at the Etihad Stadium where we will be aiming to leapfrog them into a Champions League spot with three vital points.

But the Catalan reaffirmed his delight in witnessing Maresca thrive as a number one.

“[He’s changed Chelsea] a lot,” Pep declared.

“I think we recognised the team from day one when we played in the pre-season in the United States.

“Many things, I start to see which we spoke about many times in the last years together. Really good.

“I’m very pleased, I was a lucky man to work with him in the last years.

“Everything happened with him and his family, if he’s fine, I am fine. I’m happy for him.”
