Maresca, the father of Guardiola’s deputy at City – Calcio disappeared at the stadium in Istanbul

Fear, on the night of the big party. Hours of apprehension at home Manchester City after the triumph of Istanbul. For the first time in their history, the English team lifted the big-eared cup to the sky by beating Inter in the final, but among the Citizens there were those who weren’t able to fully enjoy their triumph. It’s about the coach Enzo Maresca, 43 years old, former player among others of Juventus, Fiorentina, Palermo and Sampdoria, now a collaborator in the technical staff of Guardiola.

At the triple whistle of the referee Marciniak, while the Manchester players were celebrating the victory Maresca was reached by the news of the death of his father Pasquale, who was present in the stands of the Ataturk stadium in Istanbul to watch the match. The Turkish police forces immediately activated with searches.

Maresca’s career

Born in Pontecagnano Faiano, in the province of Salerno, on February 10, 1980, Maresca grew up in the youth sectors of Milan and Cagliari and began his professional career in England with West Bromwich. Purchased from Juve, he made his black and white debut in 2000 before moving to Bologna, returning to Turin and starting from there a series of experiences that led him to wear the shirts of Piacenza, Fiorentina, Seville, Olympiacos, Malaga, Sampdoria, Palermo and Verona. The yellow-blue one will be the last experience as a player, in 2017 – at the age of 37 – in fact, he announces his retirement.
