Premier League record

Manchester City head coach Enzo Maresca has set a Premier League record: he won his first seven matches after being appointed as the team's head coach. The record was confirmed after the victory over Ipswich Town, 3:2, in matchday 7 of the championship.

Overtakes Guardiola, Ancelotti and Solskjær

Maresca overtook Josep Guardiola (City, 2016/17 season), Carlo Ancelotti (Chelsea, 2009/10) and Ole Gunnar Solskjær (Manchester United, 2018/19), who had won their first six matches after their appointments.

Maresca's path at City

The 46-year-old Maresca took charge of City in June, following the departure of Josep Guardiola. He previously coached Chelsea, with whom he won the Conference League (2024/25 season) and the Club World Cup (2025), but was dismissed in January.

The table after seven matchdays

After seven matchdays, Manchester City have collected 21 points and top the Premier League table. Their closest chasers, Arsenal, have 15 points.
