Manchester City assistant coach Enzo Maresca has claimed the rebuilt squad is ahead of schedule following a summer of significant upheaval at the Premier League champions.
Speaking after a training session on Friday, Maresca suggested the team's transition has progressed faster than expected despite the departure of key players and the integration of new signings.
The Italian coach, who has worked under Pep Guardiola since 2022, did not specify which players or tactical adjustments he was referencing but indicated the squad's cohesion has developed rapidly during the early months of the 2026-27 campaign.
City have navigated a challenging start to the season while adapting to roster changes that included several high-profile exits and arrivals during the summer transfer window.
