Guardiola confesses who he thinks will be the manager of Manchester City in the future

Pep Guardiola is one of the most important coaches today. The citizen coach has positioned himself in an important way as one of the best strategists of the moment and the reality is that for many he could be one of the best in all of history due to the great legacy that he has left on his team. However, his time at Manchester City may not have as many more chapters, after almost seven years at the English club.

Pep Guardiola finally managed to win the UEFA Champions League last season. The citizen team positioned itself significantly as a serious contender for several campaigns, but always ended up falling short when it came to fighting for the championship. However, the club is now European champion and Pep Guardiola achieved his third Champions League as a coach, and Manchester City's first.

In the run-up to the match between Manchester City and Brighton, Pep Guardiola spoke to various media outlets and what he said months ago in the last match in which both clubs met comes to mind. "That's the next manager of Manchester City," was, according to The Telegraph, what Pep Guardiola said in May after Manchester City faced Brighton at home.

Does Guardiola want De Zerbi at Manchester City?

According to the English newspaper, the Spanish coach commented on it in the locker room tunnel before the referee whistled the start of that match. He said it about De Zerbi, whom he first let pass in the locker room and then, in front of those present, he pointed out the aforementioned phrase. De Zerbi is one of the fashionable men at 44 years old and, according to Pep's theory, he could fill the gap he leaves on the bench from 2024 and 2025.
