Maresca plays down fallout as City squad insists mood is ‘fantastic’

Maresca says the atmosphere inside Manchester City remains positive, with Enzo Maresca telling reporters that his players “don’t care too much about the noise” created by the 115 charges brought by the Premier League. He described the overall feeling among the squad as “fantastic,” underlining his view that team morale is intact.

Enzo Maresca framed his comments around the squad’s daily work, saying the group is focused on training and match preparation rather than external controversy. The coach avoided discussing legal details, instead stressing the players’ commitment to maintaining standards on the pitch while the matter proceeds through the relevant sporting processes.

Manchester City faces an extended set of charges from the Premier League, a development that has attracted significant attention across English football. The scale of the allegations has prompted scrutiny from media and supporters, but Maresca maintained that such scrutiny has had limited effect on the team’s internal dynamics and on individual players’ focus.

Enzo Maresca also highlighted the role of club staff and leadership in preserving a stable environment for the squad. He pointed to routines, coaching continuity and internal support structures as factors helping players to concentrate on performance. The coach said he preferred to leave the regulatory process to the relevant authorities while ensuring the team remains prepared for forthcoming fixtures.

Manchester City and the Premier League will continue to follow formal procedures around the charges. In the meantime, Maresca’s public remarks underline a clear managerial priority: keep the squad’s attention on football and the immediate competitive calendar, with the club expecting the disciplinary process to unfold through established channels.
