Club comes up with Pep Guardiola succession plan

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola is expected to leave the club next summer.

According to the Daily Mail, the Spaniard is going to call time on his career at the Etihad Stadium at the end of next season after joining the club back in 2016.

The Spaniard’s spell at the club has been hugely successful with the former Barcelona and Bayern Munich manager winning the Premier League title six times and the Champions League once.

Guardiola has entered the last 12 months of his contract at the club and with his current deal expiring next summer, he is expected to leave the club for a new adventure.

Man City will have the difficult task of replacing the legendary manager and they have already identified the names that they will target.

Heading the list of the potential candidates to succeed Guardiola is Girona manager Michel.

The 48-year-old manager guided the La Liga club to a third placed finish in the Spanish league, only behind Real Madrid and Barcelona.

At one stage of the season, Girona were competing for the title with Los Blancos but they fell short of beating the Spanish giants.

Michel has built a competitive team at Girona who have qualified for the Champions League next season.

Julian Nagelsmann, the former Bayern manager who is currently in charge of the Germany national team until 2026, is also mentioned in the report as a potential candidate.
