Enzo Fernandez has expressed his enthusiasm about reuniting with Enzo Maresca, the former Chelsea coach, now at Manchester City. Fernandez, who made headlines on transfer deadline day, became the most expensive signing in Manchester City’s history with a staggering £125 million move from Chelsea.
The 25-year-old midfielder is not only thrilled about joining a club with such a rich history but also about working once again under Maresca, who played a significant role in his development during their time together at Chelsea. Under Maresca’s guidance, Fernandez achieved notable successes, including winning the Europa Conference League and the FIFA Club World Cup.
Fernandez praised Maresca, describing him as a ‘top manager’ and highlighting his passionate coaching style, which he likened to the fervor often seen in Latin cultures. “He is a top manager, honestly,” Fernandez stated. “I had him at my previous club. They were incredible moments. I learned so much with him.”
The Argentine international emphasized the importance of Maresca’s influence in his transfer to Manchester City, saying, “I’m also grateful because he was very important in bringing me here. So it’s a huge pleasure for me to work alongside him and enjoy it.” His comments reflect a strong bond between the two, built on mutual respect and shared experiences.
Fernandez also acknowledged the challenges he faced during the transfer process, indicating that both he and Maresca were eager for the move to materialize. “To be honest, we were both very eager for it to happen, because it wasn’t easy for me to be here today,” he noted. He appreciated Maresca’s efforts in advocating for his transfer, stating, “I know he also made a big effort, speaking to the club, and I’m grateful that he did that.”
After a tense few days of negotiations, Fernandez is relieved and excited to finally be part of Manchester City, a club known for its ambition and success in both domestic and European competitions. “It was a long few days, but in the end I’m here and I’m very happy to be joining this club,” he concluded.
