The Relevo network revealed that Manchester City’s management has begun planning for the post-Pep Guardiola era, while the coach himself is about to leave coaching the English club.
Guardiola’s contract at Etihad Stadium still extends until the summer of 2025, and it was said that City may try to renew this contract again, but things now do not indicate that.
According to the report, the coach himself feels that the time has come for him to leave City, and is not thinking about renewing his contract there, and there is even a possibility that he will leave at the end of the current season.
In general, City’s management wants a smooth transition to technical management without crises, and in fact they have settled on the name of Guardiola’s replacement, who is a non-senior coach.
The coach nominated to succeed Guardiola is Miguel Sanchez, Girona’s current coach, who the management believes has all the capabilities to complete the career of the Spanish philosopher after his unparalleled success this season.
Sanchez has already begun to learn English, and the City administration, which also owns Girona, is certain that if Guardiola leaves, it will immediately bring the other Spaniard to England.
It is noteworthy that Guardiola will not leave Manchester City alone, as the report also revealed that Txiki Begiristain, the sporting director, is living his last days at Etihad Stadium.
