In this fascinating Coaches’ Voice Masterclass, Leicester City manager Enzo Maresca discusses the hot topic of inverted full-backs.

Maresca is among the most highly-rated coaches in modern football. His teams have a reputation for controlling games, courtesy of his tactical approach.

At Leicester, as well as in previous spells as head coach of Manchester City’s Elite Development Squad and with Parma, he has used inverted full-backs. He also assisted Pep Guardiola during Manchester City’s treble-winning campaign, where the concept of a player from the back line joining the midfield was employed.

Now, in this exclusive Masterclass, Maresca explains the thinking behind a full-back coming inside, how that can match up against various opposition formations, plus the positional requirements of the role.

  1. Apparently, it was him that created the Stones inverting midfield role in our Treble season that Pep adopted. And mainly why he got the Job in the eyes of the City board

  2. He is the right coach in the wrong club , as a Chelsea fan I know what kind of players that Enzo needs , sadly the club didn’t back him . We will see that when he will get the sack and win the treble with Man City .

  3. Maresca the type of manager to make his tactics more important than the players. He ends up overthinking & using square pegs in round holes just to force the system he wants to play. He should thank the Chelsea model because it afforded him young, really talented starboys that will win inspite of his galaxy brain.
