Viana: Maresca has settled well at Man City
Man City's director of football Hugo Viana says Enzo Maresca - although not a new face at the club - has settled well as he looks to follow up a legacy left by Pep Guardiola.
The Italian was appointed as Guardioa's successor this summer and has made a winning start to the Premier League season.
Asked about their relationship, Viana said in an interview with the club's official media: Enzo knew the club already. He worked for Manchester City before. He was not a new face in the building.
"He has settled really well but hes also brought his new ideas and own way [of] doing things. Its a different approach of course. We lost Pep, a legend of the club, but Enzo is doing really well.
"We are building a really strong relationship. Its a big challenge for me, him and all of us but we have the same ambition to keep Manchester City competing to the highest level and were all confident.
Man City director of football happy with summer transfer window
Man City's director of football Hugo Viana says the club are very happy with their summer transfer window business.
The club signed players like Elliot Anderson and Enzo Fernandez for big money, while also seeing departures from Rodri and Bernardo Silva among others.
In an interview with the club's official media, Viana said: I think we were cool and we are happy with the window.
"It was a different summer because a new manager came in, new faces, a World Cup. Everything was a little bit later than normal, but it was important to stay calm and stick to our plan and be patient.
"We had a look at some really good options for the positions we wanted to bring in new players. When your coach is happy, you should be happy too.
"We are truly happy with the window and we all believe that we bought the players that fit for Enzos style of playing. We also managed very well the outgoings.
"We can speak good things about our transfer window now and it was really busy, but we have to wait. We have to give time to the new players and new coach to implement his ideas. The players have to understand, be ready and know how Enzo wants to play.
When asked whether the squad is in a better place now than before the window, Viana added: Maybe its not fair to say we are in a better place than before the window because we had a lot of quality already, but we have a really young squad.
"We brought the players that we all believe will be important this season and for the next three, four, five years. We bought players with experience in the Premier League and we bought players like Bouaddi that we believe will be important in the future but this year also. Hes still 18, we cannot forget that.
"Its important for them to understand that we want to keep them for the next years. If we can, we want to win but at least we will compete very seriously in all competitions.
Wharton: I never considered leaving Palace
Adam Wharton has revealed he never thought about leaving Crystal Palace this summer - and says he is currently set to stay for the remainder of his three-year deal.
The England international was linked with a move to Manchester City during the last transfer window but was one of the key Palace players to stay.
I never really thought about transfers this summer, said Wharton ahead of Palace's first ever Europa League game against Lech Poznan.
I stay very far away from it. My agent doesnt really tell me anything, I dont want to know anything. If Im not going to move theres no need for me to have any information. I never thought about a different club, I was always here training looking forward to a new season, the gaffer, new players coming in.
I have three years left at Palace, for all I know Im here for three years unless a club comes in or theres another contract. I take it week by week, game by game. That helps me get best out of myself and concentrate on what is next.
Theres never really anything (more) to it. Im happy to be playing games and trying to improve.
