The Italian, who was part of Pep Guardiola’s backroom staff during the most memorable campaign in the Club’s history, has now returned to City as manager.
And reflecting on that momentous achievement during his first interview since returning to the Club, he believes the City fans played a vital role in the final months of the season as we won the Premier League, Champions League and FA Cup.
“It was an incredible season for many reasons,” Maresca said. “For the trophies the Club achieved, but also for the entire experience.
“I still remember the last part of the season, the games at home against Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Arsenal, Liverpool, the way the fans tried to push the team. The environment inside the stadium, that was unbelievable.
“Then, the season finished in a great way. The parade with all the blue city that was a fantastic feeling. That was an important journey for sure.
“I feel so excited [to be back at City]. As I mentioned, I remember the environment in those games – Bayern Munich, Arsenal, Liverpool, Real Madrid.
“The environment, the way they [the fans] pushed the team was absolutely top. I have no doubts that they are going to support the team and support the new manager, after 10 years with Pep with the same manager.”
