Enzo Maresca managed Manchester City in the club’s 2–1 opening-weekend win over Bournemouth.
Manchester City hosted Bournemouth on Sunday 23 August 2026 and came from behind to win 2–1. The match marked Maresca’s first competitive game in charge of City after his appointment as the club’s manager.
Bournemouth took the lead through Marcus Tavernier, but City scored twice late in the match to complete the comeback. Joško Gvardiol scored the decisive goal in second-half stoppage time, turning a difficult opener into three points for the home side.
Maresca is associated with several clubs because of his coaching career. He previously managed Leicester City and Chelsea before taking the Manchester City job, so those names can be tempting alternatives. The question concerns the club he led in this particular Premier League fixture.
