Sparta Prague Overview

Manchester City defender Josko Gvardiol has hailed new manager Enzo Maresca as the "perfect" successor to Pep Guardiola as the Premier League champions begin a new era. The Italian coach has big shoes to fill after the legendary Catalan departed the Etihad Stadium following a trophy-laden decade in charge of the club.

For some football fans, the summer is the part of the calendar that they look forward to the most - and that's not just because it's filled by a World Cup every four years! Rather, it's because the end of the season means only one thing: It's time for transfers! The 2026 window is once again proving to be busy, with some huge names making big-money moves before deadline day on September 1.

Manchester City midfielder Phil Foden is targeting a "fresh start" under new manager Enzo Maresca as he looks to repay the club's faith following a new long-term contract extension. The England international endured a challenging spell last season, but is determined to rediscover his best form after committing his future to the Etihad Stadium until 2030.

Inter manager Cristian Chivu has hailed new signing John Stones for his "charisma" and quality ahead of a prestigious pre-season clash against Manchester City. The Romanian coach insists the England defender will elevate the squad's standards while confirming that the Italian giants remain attentive to further opportunities in the transfer market.
