Enzo Maresca has said he does not think highly of Pep Guardiola, while making it clear that following Manchester City's greatest coach does not scare him. Guardiola left management in the summer, after a decade in which he led City to their first Champions League title, six Premier League titles and two different trebles. There is also a stand at the Etihad Stadium named after Guardiola.

Maresca, a former Chelsea manager and assistant to Guardiola, recently took over the management of City. Although the Italian coach does not hesitate to call his former boss a "legend", he believes it is not necessary to focus on his predecessor.

Maresca's side have won six of their fixtures in all competitions, making a 100 per cent start to the Premier League season. He said, "For me it's a privilege to be at this club and it's also a privilege to be at this club after a legend like Pep. I know it would be a disaster if I don't win, and that's normal, but I don't spend my days thinking about who was here first and for how many years."

Working for Maresca is not easy as there have been major changes in the team over the years. Former senior players such as Bernardo Silva, Rhodri, John Stones and Nathan Ake, who previously played with Maresca, have left in the summer. He said, "The players are a completely different squad. There are three or four players who played with me last season here, and finally I start my day with the players, so it's something new. I'm happy because I can see that we are improving. When I decided to join the club, I was quite certain that it was a good club, and the players are good players. At the same time, I knew that the club was in a period of change, having had the same manager for the last ten years and Working with Rodri, Bernardo, Ake, this change is normal, but at the same time I am confident that we can do a good job.

City are set to face Sunderland on Sunday, which Maresca says could be the toughest match so far, but he is hopeful Germany's Doku can be fit. The winger has been out since the Community Shield defeat against Arsenal.

What will happen next

Maresca's team will have to face the challenge of maintaining its winning streak in the upcoming matches. The competition in the Premier League is increasing, and they have to maintain the fitness and cohesion of their players.
