Enzo Maresca is already making Premier League history. Arrived on the bench of Manchester City to replace Pep Guardiola, the Italian technician made an absolutely exceptional debut at the head of the Skyblues. With seven victories in his first seven league matches, the former Chelsea coach has just established a new record in the history of the competition. A perfect series which continued this Saturday with the difficult success of the Citizens against Ipswich (3-2), thanks in particular to a double from Erling Haaland and an achievement from Phil Foden. No one had managed to start with 7 victories in a row in the history of the English championship.
This statistic takes on even more significance when compared to the debuts of the greatest coaches in the history of the English championship. By winning his first seven Premier League matches at the helm of Manchester City, Enzo Maresca did better than Pep Guardiola, Sir Alex Ferguson, Arsène Wenger or even Mikel Arteta, who had never achieved such a series in their first seven matches at the helm of a club in the competition.
