Enzo Maresca has won the Championship manager of the month for August, following an 100% record to start the season.
The Italian boss has come in and taken the league by storm in his first season managing in England.
His first win of the season came against Coventry City on opening weekend.
A Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall inspired win in which Maresca’s philosophy was beginning to show. 65% possession and 571 passes throughout.
His next game was much more close fought, but the Italian’s side began to show steely determination early.
New signing, Stephy Mavididi, scoring the only goal to dispatch Huddersfield Town.
The first of the late late show’s for Leicester against Cardiff City.
A wondergoal from Aaron Ramsey cancelled out a Wanya Marcal goal in the first half.
New signing Cesare Casadei came off the bench and scored a 92nd winner to secure three wins from three.
Maresca’s side were showing true grit as they scored another late winner next time round against Rotherham United.
Kasey McAteer scored his first senior Foxes goals as his side won 2-1.
A perfect month in terms of results, a great start for Maresca.
What has Enzo Maresca said?
On receiving the award, the manager was very humble: “I’m very happy, but as happens in football, you never reach something yourself, you need people behind you.”
This resulted in him praising his players and staff: “The players, they are the most important and then the backroom staff for sure.”
It was set to be a difficult start for the Italian but he has taken to the league like a duck to water.
On his start he said: “We started in the right way in terms of results and the way that we play. For sure, there are many things to improve but this is the right way.”
