Maresca firmly rejected the notion that the club’s previous title victories are compromised, stating they are “absolutely not” tainted. He emphasized that the squad remains focused on their footballing duties and is largely unfazed by the external noise surrounding the case.

The club is currently in the process of appealing the panel’s decision, which covers a nine-year period of alleged financial misconduct involving more than £900m in illicit funding. While awaiting potential sanctions, Maresca insists the team remains calm and committed to their objectives.
