Maresca: "It makes me laugh when critics claim Pep Guardiola is finished

Enzo Maresca, former Manchester City assistant coach, has spoken out in defense of Pep Guardiola amidst recent criticisms of the legendary manager.

Maresca laughed off claims that Guardiola’s career is “finished,” pointing out the absurdity of such suggestions.

In a recent interview, he emphasized how Guardiola remains calm and focused, fully aware of the challenges his team faces.

Maresca noted that Manchester City's current struggles are not due to tactical flaws but rather a slew of injuries, which is highly abnormal in football.

His remarks underline Guardiola’s resilient mindset and the reality that many of the team’s issues stem from factors beyond the manager's control. For Maresca, the focus should be on the bigger picture and not baseless criticism.
