Manager calm after ‘really good game’ at SunderlandChelsea visit Etihad on Sunday after sacking MarescaAn outwardly sanguine Pep Guardiola suggested he was reasonably content with a hard-fought point at Sunderland after watching his Manchester City side lose ground on Arsenal at the top of the Premier League.The 0-0 draw at the Stadium of Light leaves City second, four points behind Mikel Arteta’s leaders but Guardiola was not too downhearted. “I’ll take the point against this team at this stadium,” said a good-humoured Guardiola who seemed unaffected by reports that Enzo Maresca, once his assistant at the Etihad Stadium, had discussed the possibility of relocating to Manchester later this year with figures associated to City. “It was a really good game.” Continue reading...

Manager toed the line at Stamford Bridge with one eye on the Manchester City job, frustrating fans and his employersIt was late on New Year’s Eve when Chelsea’s patience ran out. They knew that Enzo Maresca was attempting to engineer an exit from the club and now they were ready to call his bluff. Midnight was approaching and the fireworks at Stamford Bridge were about to erupt.A baffling story soon had a familiar, predictable ending. Maresca, who is not the first manager to run out of friends at Chelsea, had taken the provocations too far. There was surprise when he told staff that he did not want to conduct his post-match press conference after the disappointing 2-2 draw with Bournemouth on Tuesday night.
