Enzo Maresca, the former Manchester City coach, has expressed confidence that his old club will be in the hunt for the Premier League title this season, while downplaying Chelsea’s chances of challenging for the top spot. Maresca, who previously worked as an assistant coach at City under Pep Guardiola, is well-acquainted with the club’s strength and believes their squad is primed to continue their dominance in English football.

Speaking on City’s title prospects, Maresca emphasized the club’s depth, experience, and tactical sophistication under Guardiola. He highlighted key players such as Erling Haaland and Kevin De Bruyne, who continue to be pivotal in the team’s success. Maresca believes that despite the challenges posed by rival clubs, City’s consistency, coupled with their winning mentality, will make them a formidable force in the league.

On the other hand, Maresca was more reserved about Chelsea’s chances of competing for the title. The Blues, despite spending heavily in recent transfer windows, have struggled to find consistency under manager Mauricio Pochettino. Maresca suggested that while Chelsea has a talented squad, it will take time for the team to gel and develop the cohesion required to challenge for the Premier League title. He pointed out that the current season may be more of a rebuilding phase for Chelsea rather than one of immediate title contention.
While Maresca’s comments reflect the disparity in current team strengths, he acknowledged that football can be unpredictable, and other clubs could pose a challenge. However, his belief remains strong that Manchester City’s well-established system and resources will see them among the contenders at the top of the Premier League come the end of the season.
