The Spanish tactician has been at the helm of the Premier League giants since 2016, leading them to four league titles, an FA Cup, and six League Cups. Recent reports have suggested that Guardiola is considering leaving Manchester City at the end of the season, with rumors linking him with a move to either Bayern Munich or Juventus. The 51-year-old has repeatedly stated his love for Manchester City, but has also hinted at a potential future return to Barcelona. Guardiola’s contract with Manchester City expires in 2023, but there is growing concern that he will not extend his stay beyond that. The club’s board is reportedly preparing for his potential departure and has drawn up a shortlist of possible replacements. One of the frontrunners to replace Guardiola is Julian Nagelsmann, who has impressed at Bayern Munich. The German coach has won the Bundesliga twice and the Champions League in his time at the Bavarian club. Another potential candidate is Erik ten Hag, the current manager of Manchester United. The Dutchman has turned the Red Devils into a more competitive force, winning the EFL Cup and reaching the final of the Carabao Cup. If Guardiola does indeed leave Manchester City, it will mark the end of an era for the club. He has transformed the team into one of the most dominant forces in European football and has played a pivotal role in their domestic and continental success. However, Manchester City has a rich history of adapting to managerial changes, having previously replaced Roberto Mancini with Manuel Pellegrini and Pellegrini with Guardiola. The club’s board will be confident in their ability to find a suitable successor if Guardiola decides to leave.
