Man City shortlist former player as potential Pep Guardiola successor

According to a report, Premier League champions Manchester City might consider having Vincent Kompany return as manager to succeed Pep Guardiola in the future.

Even though Burnley’s miserable Premier League 2023–2024 season resulted in their relegation to the EFL Championship, Kompany is the front-runner to take over as manager of Bayern Munich (via BBC).

The former Belgian centre-back has been the manager of Burnley for two seasons now.

He guided them to the Premier League by winning the Championship after getting 100-points but in his first season in the top flight, Burnley got relegated back to the Championship.

As per GIVEMESPORT‘s report, Manchester City have added former captain Vincent Kompany to their shortlist of possible successors to Pep Guardiola at the Etihad Stadium.

Guardiola’s contract is set to expire after next season and there is a belief that he will leave the Etihad Stadium after next season.

The Daily Mail report added four names being considered by Man City to appoint as Guardiola’s successor.
