While there have been clips of Enzo Maresca taking charge of Manchester City training this week, Friday will be the first real glimpse of him as City manager in a public forum. That is a moment in itself that does feel like essential viewing for Manchester City fans.
It will be fascinating to see how Maresca performs in his first press conference as City manager.
One thing that Enzo Maresca will not be in a press conference is Pep Guardiola. Guardiola was fascinating to listen to in press conferences with his larger-than-life personality and overall charisma.

Enzo Maresca has long waited for the opportunity in front of him. He left his post as Chelsea manager last season due to Manchester City’s interest in hiring him as Pep Guardiola’s successor.

However, Friday’s press conference will be essential viewing as in a way it does represent the first public viewing of a new era at Manchester City.
