Manchester City identifies Pep Guardiola's replacement

“Citizens” have enjoyed the most successful period in their history since Guardilla took the reins at “Etihad Stadium” in the summer of 2019.

Guardilla has led them towards winning 16 trophies, including a title of Premier League, a Champions League trophy and an FA Cup in the past historic season of triple winning.

Man City's hopes of preserving their trophy at the League Champions ended in Wednesday's loss of penalty for Real Madrid.

Despite disappointment in the midweek, Man City still has the opportunity to win the FA Cup and Premier League's title at the eighth season of Guardiola with the club.

While Guardiola will currently focus on field issues, there are some uncertainty about his long-term future with the club. The 53-year-old has remained just over a year to execute his current agreement, which will expire at the end of the 2024-25 season.

The Guardilla has earlier hinted that he is open to prolong his stay, but he is still likely to decide to leave in the summer of 2025.

Even ifardiola renews his current arrangement, Man City is fully aware that he will leave at some point in the future.

As a result, “Relevo” is reporting that “citizens” are considering Girona's chief, Michel, as the possible replacement of Guardio.

The report claims Michel is highly respected in “City Group”, which are fully aware of his work due to 47% of their shares in Girona.

Michel, who is said to be learning English, has significantly strengthened his reputation during his three-year term as head of Girona.

The 48-year-old achieved promotion through play-off in his first season, before taking the club to 10th place in the 2022-23 season to La League.

This season, although they have experienced a decline in the past two months, Girona is in third place by a seven-point margin against the Athletic Bilbao in fifth place.

As a result, they are on the verge of securing a country in Champions League and European qualifications for the first time in their history.
