“Arteta and Enzo Maresca are both my products but I personally thinks Enzo Maresca us better than Mikel Arteta and here’s the reason”: Pep Gaurdiorla says Chelsea coach Enzo Maresca is better than Mikel Arteta, gives reasons

Danny Murphy, a former England midfielder, has effectively eliminated Arteta and Maresca from consideration for the position, despite the fact that they have close ties to the club. Man City will already be making preparations for life when Guardiola becomes the manager of the club.

Arteta, the current manager of Arsenal, was as Guardiola’s assistant at City prior to taking up responsibility for Arsenal in 2021. Maresca, the current manager of Chelsea, was a member of the Etihad academy until the same year.

Arteta has gone close to winning the Premier League championship while playing for Arsenal, and Maresca has had a fantastic start to his stint at Stamford Bridge. Maresca will be looking to add more success to his Chelsea team’s record when they play the Gunners on Sunday.

“To begin, I have a strong suspicion that City will be looking for a manager who has previous experience winning a major league or European competition.” Due to the fact that Hugo Viana is about to start his new role as sporting director, they will want someone who is capable of attracting the stars to fill the hot seat.

The fact that two of the most talented managers in the Premier League worked for Pep Guardiola at Manchester City and have significantly enhanced Chelsea and Arsenal as a result of what they learnt is a huge credit to Pep Guardiola, according to what Murphy said in an interview with Mail Sport.

As a result of their extensive familiarity with the club, Enzo Maresca and Mikel Arteta will be considered for the position of successor to their mentor in the event that Pep goes on leave. Nevertheless, I do not believe that it will take place.

At the same time, I do not believe that either Maresca or Arteta would be willing to give up the projects that they are now working on in order to take on the challenging task of following a legend, even if they were to be courted by City.

“Sir Alex Ferguson, the only manager who can compare to Pep Guardiola in terms of success, has been impossible to match at Manchester United for more than a decade,” said the author.
