Media outlets reveal Manchester City have set their sights on Pep’s replacement after new contract fails to materialise
- Pep Guardiola is still in the process of deciding whether to extend his contract with Man City.
- Man City still have 115 allegations that will affect Pep’s decision
- Manchester City board eyeing Ruben Amorim as successor to manager
Pep Guardiola is one of the most successful managers in history. Especially since he moved to Manchester City and was able to lead the team to a historic “treble” in the 2022/23 season, including guaranteeing the league championship for 4 consecutive seasons.
However, Pep’s future with Man City remains uncertain. As the Spanish coach is still in the ‘decision’ stage. Causing the board of directors of the Sky Blues to now start looking for other options.
One of the reasons why Pep has yet to decide to extend his contract with the ยูฟ่าเบท club is the 115-count indictment on financial misconduct charges. Which could see Man City punished severely, including being expelled from the Premier League.
According to The Guardian, Manchester City‘s board are looking for a suitable successor to Pep, with one name being considered: young manager Ruben Amorim, who has previously been linked with Liverpool and Manchester United.
The advantage is that Amorim is close to Man City’s new sporting director, Hugo Viana, having worked with him at Sporting Lisbon. So the possibility of Amorim moving to manage the Citizens. If Pep Guardiola leaves his position has a lot of weight.
