Next Man City manager odds as Pep Guardiola set leave this week | Football | Sport
The final bow has been taken, or so the reports suggest. This campaign signals the conclusion of an era at Manchester City and indeed the Premier League as Pep Guardiola bids farewell to the club he has served for a decade.
His achievements are unparalleled with a 70% win rate, six Premier League titles, a Champions League trophy, two FA Cups, five EFL Cups, three Community Shields, a UEFA Super Cup and Club World Cup – it is reasonable to say his tenure in England has been a dynasty and one many will recall with great affection.
Now, the hunt has commenced for his successor with one former Championship-winning manager positioned as the frontrunner. Other prominent names are inevitably being linked to the position as the City hierarchy will undoubtedly seek a replacement capable of maintaining the exceptional work Guardiola has delivered over the past decade.
Nevertheless, that will prove more challenging than it sounds at present.
At present, bookmakers BetVictor have the market available with former Leicester City and Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca positioned as the leading candidate at 1/2. The ex-Blues head coach has a track record of collaborating with Guardiola previously at City which appears the most sensible option, particularly given he is presently without a club since departing the Stamford Bridge outfit.
Alternative candidates include a potential return to the Etihad Stadium for Vincent Kompany, with the Bayern Munich boss having impressed through his accomplishments at the Bavarian club, including back-to-back Bundesliga titles.
Further outside contenders include PSG’s Luis Enrique at 6/1, who has steered the Parisiens to their first Champions League title as well as consecutive finals.
