Manchester City have faced silence from within the club since reports emerged that they were expected to be found guilty of 114 of the 115 charges relating to alleged financial rule breaches.
Maresca subsequently posted a quote from Socrates on his personal Instagram account.
“The only thing I know is that I know nothing,” the quote read.
It was initially unclear whether the message was connected to the Manchester City case, but the link became clearer when Maresca's representatives directed *The Guardian* to the same quote after the newspaper requested his response to the allegations.
The case could have significant consequences for Manchester City if the reported findings are confirmed.
The club could potentially be stripped of trophies won between 2009 and 2018.
Maresca has not made a direct public comment on the case, with the Socrates quotation currently representing the response offered through his representatives.
