Simpson, who retired from professional football in 2022 after stints with various clubs including Manchester United, Bristol City, and Huddersfield Town, expressed his admiration for the way Maresca has rejuvenated the Leicester City team. He noted that the players are enjoying their football and have responded well to Maresca’s tactical approach, which draws inspiration from the style of Pep Guardiola.

He believes that the team is on track for success under Maresca’s leadership and has confidence in their ability to secure promotion back to the Premier League.
Reflecting on Leicester’s relegation last year, Simpson acknowledged the unpredictable nature of football but emphasized the importance of the team’s return to the top flight. He expressed optimism for Leicester’s future, citing Maresca’s potential to guide the club to a strong position in the league and believes that the team is poised for a successful comeback.
