While Manchester City hosts Coventry this Saturday at the Etihad Stadium, Enzo Maresca formalized a new hierarchy among his leaders after the departure of Rodri. The Italian technician has appointed four captains for the season: Ruben Dias, Erling Haaland, Marc Guéhi and Gianluigi Donnarumma. Two fairly logical choices for the first, thanks to their seniority and their weight in the locker room, and two more surprising decisions for Guéhi and Donnarumma, both recently arrived, but already considered references by the staff.
Asked about the presence of Enzo Fernández among the captains, the coach simply replied: “no, the captains are Ruben, Erling, Marc Guehi and Gianluigi Donnarumma. » Maresca, however, wanted to reassure about the integration of his recruit, ensuring that the locker room was delighted with his arrival: “He’s a winner and when you’re part of a squad and another winning player comes in, they’re always happy. » The Argentinian, judged ” ready “ by his coach, could also make his debut against Coventry.
