Guardiola's Funny Take on Maresca's Name: "He's Not a Horse, He's a Manager!"
Manchester, England - Pep Guardiola, renowned for his tactical brilliance, has proven to be just as sharp with his wit. During a recent press conference, the Manchester City manager took a lighthearted jab at his former assistant, Luciano Maresca, now the manager of Leicester City.
A "Horse" of a Different Color
The conversation unfolded when a journalist enquired about Maresca's appointment. Guardiola, ever the charismatic figure, responded with his signature humor, "Maresca, Maresca... it sounds like a horse, doesn't it?" He continued with a grin, "But don't be fooled, he's not a horse, he's a manager!"
A Nod to the Past
The jest, of course, was a playful reference to Maresca's time as a midfielder under Guardiola at City. The Spanish tactician then acknowledged Maresca's capabilities, stating, "He learned a lot with me, and he's a very intelligent guy. I'm sure he will do well at Leicester."
A New Chapter Begins
Maresca, known for his calm demeanor and tactical prowess, has already made his mark at Leicester. His appointment has been met with optimism from the Foxes faithful, hoping he can guide the team back to its former glory.

Looking Ahead
