Manchester City and Inter Milan collide in Hong Kong on Saturday, as Enzo Maresca’s tenure with the Cityzens gets underway.
Maresca was finally announced as Pep Guardiola’s successor on June 29, having left his post as Chelsea manager at the start of the year. The Italian spent three years as Guardiola’s assistant and had long been touted as one of the few options capable of replacing the all-time great City manager.
Their first stop-off in the Pacific sees them lock horns with the Nerazzurri for the second time since the 2023 Champions League final, when City completed the treble by beating Simone Inzaghi’s side 1–0 in Istanbul, courtesy of a Rodri goal.
Inzaghi has since been replaced by Cristian Chivu, and Inter head into the summer as Scudetto holders. They cruised to the Serie A title last season, and are attempting to build on that success by signing former Manchester City defenders Manuel Akanji and John Stones on permanent deals.
Here’s how to tune into Saturday’s preseason friendly around the world.
