The Italian, appointed last July, has overseen a record-breaking campaign at King Power Stadium, eventually finishing on 97 points and securing the Sky Bet Championship title.
Not only did City make the best-ever start to a second-tier season, Maresca's men also equaled a Club record for 31 league wins in a single campaign. No team in English football has now won the second division more than Leicester (8).
Maresca: So Fantastic
Manager Enzo Maresca takes stock on the amazing scenes as Leicester City lifted the Sky Bet Championship trophy.
Soaking up the atmosphere after lifting the trophy on Saturday, the Manager described how proud he is to restore the Club's place in the top flight less than 12 months after they were relegated.
"Fantastic, fantastic," he beamed. "Today, with our fans, thinking that less than one year ago, the same fans were upset. We have given them back what they deserved. It’s huge. I’m very proud. We work every day to live these kind of days.
"To share them with the fans, it’s fantastic. We’ve given them back what they deserve. The owners are fantastic as well, we’re all very happy."
