Enzo Maresca faces his biggest challenge since taking charge of Manchester City as the club deals with a growing list of problems following the end of its perfect Premier League start.
Maresca won each of his first seven league matches as City manager, establishing an early run of success and creating a strong start to his tenure. That opening period has now passed, however, with the team’s mounting issues placing greater pressure on the manager to respond.
The shift marks the end of what had been a successful honeymoon period for Maresca. His immediate task is to identify how City can overcome its current difficulties and restore the momentum generated by those opening seven victories.
The available information does not specify the nature of the problems facing the club or set out any particular measures Maresca plans to take. His handling of the situation will now provide the clearest test yet of his leadership at Manchester City.
