Enzo Maresca Confident City Will Win Appeal, Outlines Relegation Contingency

Enzo Maresca faced reporters for the first time since the Premier League concluded that Manchester City had breached its financial regulations over a nine‑year period, according to Mirror Football.

Maresca told the media that the club is fully prepared to challenge the decision and remains confident it will succeed in the forthcoming appeal, stressing that City’s financial structure complies with the league’s rules.

He also responded to speculation about a possible relegation scenario, outlining that the club has internal procedures designed to protect its sporting project and maintain competitiveness regardless of the division in which it competes.
