Maresca revealed that he and Guardiola remain incredibly close and even spent time together earlier in the week. However, the new manager drew a firm line regarding his own footballing philosophy, asserting that while City’s board hired him because they recognised overlapping conceptual principles, he will not be a passive imitation. "There can be some similar concepts, but every manager is different," Maresca explained. "I don’t think there are managers who can copy and paste other managers; it’s difficult. I don’t see football in the same way, and that’s why I don’t believe in copy and paste."
