Just In: Leicester City star give another inside account of ‘brilliant’ Enzo Maresca
The latest Leicester City news as Conor Coady has provided an insight into how Enzo Maresca works in his first few months at the club.
Leicester City players can ‘repay’ Enzo Maresca for his work at the club by continue to improve under the manager, according to defender Conor Coady, who was full of praise for the Italian.
Coady was Maresca’s second signing of the summer transfer window, with the England man arriving just a few weeks after the manager’s appointment was confirmed. Despite being out injured, the defender has seen up close the work that is being done at Seagrave by Maresca, especially now he’s returned to training.
City have enjoyed a successful start under the new boss, winning six and losing just one of their opening seven games in all competitions. They will look to get back to winning ways when they take on Southampton at St Mary’s on Friday night.

Ahead of that game, Coady provided an insight into what it is like to work under Maresca, and how the players will continue to improve under the guidance of the Italian.
“The manager is absolutely brilliant, the way he goes about it, the way he coaches us, the way he speaks to us, the way he gives us instructions every single day,” Coady told BBC 5Live’s Monday Night Club . “He’s been brilliant. It’s important we repay him by keeping on improving under him as much as we can.”
The summer signing also outlined one big thing he has noticed about Maresca that makes a big difference with players.
“The biggest thing for me is how personal he is with people, how he can speak to people, and I think that probably comes from being assistant manager as well, because when you’re assistant manager you’re speaking to players, you’re the bridge sometimes between a player and a manager,” he said. “I think he’s brought that here because of how personal he is with players, having conversations with players, letting players know, I’m talking every single player in the squad, with what he wants, giving instructions.”
He added: “Everything he does and the detail he goes into, I’ll probably go out of here at 9pm when we finish and he’ll probably be in the canteen on his ipad doing work, so that’s something that he does. And, for us, I think it’s just brilliant to see, we go onto the training pitch every day willing to learn and willing to get better and knowing he’ll make us better as well.”
