Former Manchester City captain Paul Lake says he is excited by the desire new boss Enzo Maresca has shown to be at the helm of the club.
Details of Maresca's Chelsea exit have emerged following City announcing the former Blues boss as their new head coach showing that Maresca pushed for it knowing Pep Guardiola could be leaving the Etihad.
Chelsea's statement at the time suggested the decision was mutual, and that both Maresca and the board were in agreement that "a change gives the team the best chance of getting the season back on track".
However, Maresca has now confirmed that he handed in his resignation at Stamford Bridge and acknowledged that it "opened a path" for him to join City.
Lake told BBC Radio Manchester: "That excites me, and I would suggest it excites most City fans that someone is prepared to make those efforts to come and work for us and with us - because he knows what a huge opportunity it is and the potential that he'll have when he comes to try to fill Pep's shoes."
