If Pep Guardiola has inscribed his name in the legend of Manchester City, the love story between the Spanish technician and the English club is getting closer to the end.
Rightly considered the best coach in the world, Pep Guardiola won everything with Manchester City. The Spanish technician revolutionized the game of the Mancunian club, before leading it to all possible and unimaginable coronations on the English scene, then European, with a coronation in the Champions League last spring.
Guardiola may not stay at Manchester City forever. The Catalan’s contract expires in June 2025, and the hypothesis of seeing him leave the club through the front door at this deadline is hardly in doubt. So who could succeed Pep Guardiola on the City bench?
“He’s the next Manchester City manager”
According to information from the daily The Telegraph – a source that is still very credible in England -, one name would be unanimous among the senior management of Man City: Roberto De Zerbi. Not only would the current Brighton manager appeal to the club board, but Pep Guardiola himself would believe that the Italian technician would be his ideal successor. The English media thus reveals that the Spaniard would have encountered several Brighton players in the tunnel during the match between the two teams at the end of last season, before blurting out: “He’s the next Manchester City manager!” “.
The reunion between the two men promises to be warm this Saturday.
