Pep Guardiola has guided Manchester City to five titles since 2017, however, with City being hit by over 100 Financial Fair Play breaches by the Premier League, Guardiola’s future at the Etihad seems a little unclear.
We know Guardiola will never be sacked by City but he has threatened to walk away if the club are found guilty over breaking FFP, so let’s have a look at some of the likely Next Man City Manager contenders, according to Paddy’s trusty traders.
Julian Nagelsmann is just 35 years old and it seems inevitable that he’ll manage in the Premier League one day.
The German impressed at RB Leipzig before being snapped up by Bayern Munich in 2021. He got sacked in bizarre circumstances this season and replaced by Thomas Tuchel so he’s available.
Nagelsmann’s sides play expansive and entertaining football and the German is used to managing pressure at a big club.

Vincent Kompany
Vincent Kompany is a City hero and the former defender already has a statue outside the Etihad but is he the right man to replace Guardiola?
He had a spell in charge of Anderlecht before taking over at Burnley and he’s transformed the Championship outfit.
They’re playing attractive football and Kompany’s men will be back in the Premier League next season.
Whether he’s quite ready to be in the City dugout remains to be seen but it looks likely in the future.

Zinedine Zidane
Zinedine Zidane couldn’t stop winning trophies at Real Madrid but would that translate to the Premier League?
He won the Champions League three times with Real and we all know how much City want that trophy…

Mikel Arteta
Guardiola’s former assistant Mikel Arteta isn’t in City’s good books at the moment after almost beating his old side to the Premier League title with Arsenal.
Arteta has turned the Gunners around and he’s built a team who are genuine title contenders.
The Spaniard seems to be the closest out there to Guardiola so could City line him up as the replacement?

Roberto De Zerbi
Roberto De Zerbi has carried on Graham Potter’s solid work at Brighton and the Seagulls secured European football for next season.
The Italian isn’t afraid to make tough decisions with De Zerbi selling Leandro Trossard in January and his stock is high after shining on the south coast.
