MANCHESTER: Manchester City boss Enzo Maresca said on Friday that he had absolute faith in the club after it was found guilty of more than 100 breaches of Premier League financial rules.

In his first press conference since the bombshell announcement last week, the Italian also rejected any suggestion that City's haul of silverware over the past 15 years was now tainted.

"I completely trust the club," said Maresca, who was appointed manager in June but also previously worked at City as part of Pep Guardiola's coaching staff.

"I trust the club because I trust the people and this is also the reason why I joined the club... there is not another club in the world where I would like to be."
