Manchester City manager Enzo Maresca has been seen in public for the first time since the club was found guilty of 114 financial rule breaches by the Premier League. The verdict, announced during the international transfer window, has left the club in a state of shock. Maresca is set to address his squad on Thursday as they return from international duty. Many players have been away with their national teams, while the club faces the fallout from the ruling.
The team will face Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday, a match expected to be highly charged. The Premier League has warned the club of the consequences of the guilty verdict, which includes potential fines and sanctions. Maresca will meet with his players ahead of the game, though the club has not yet had the chance to speak to all of them. The match against Liverpool is seen as a key test for the new season.
This is the second time Manchester City has faced legal action from the Premier League this year. In January, the club was fined £11 million for breaching financial rules. The current charges are more severe, involving over 100 violations. The club has not yet commented on the details of the verdict, but the situation has raised concerns about the financial management of the team. The upcoming match against Liverpool will be a crucial moment for the club as it tries to recover from the scandal.
