Manchester City is preparing for after Pep Guardiola's departure.

England's Team Talk reported on the 18th (Korea time) 'Man City is ready to surprise Liverpool through the appointment of a brilliant coach'

Guardiola is the best coach in the world right now. In Barcelona, where he first coached, he has already gone beyond other young masters to become one of the best managers in the world. When he took over as Barcelona manager in 2008, he surprised everyone by achieving a treble in his first season. Since then, he has won six gold medals for the first time ever, and has dominated world soccer with Lionel Messi, Xavier Hernandez and Andrés Iniesta.



Even after joining Manchester City through Bayern Munich, his leadership remained steady. England, which is considered the best league in the world, also continued its tremendous career. Manchester City have lifted 18 trophies in the past eight years alone. Under Guardiola, Manchester City has become the strongest team in the league with only five English Premier League (EPL) wins over the past eight years, and is trying to win five consecutive league titles this season.

In the 2022-2023 season, he also lifted the European Champions League trophy, which he had been aiming for with Manchester City. Guardiola shared the best moment in Manchester City's history, lifting a big year seven years after coming to Manchester City.

However, the timing of Guardiola's separation from Manchester City is also approaching. Guardiola, who re-signed in 2022 and extended his contract until June 2025, has yet to be renewed, and more and more expectations are that he will leave Manchester City after this season.

However, Manchester City is already planning to fill Guardiola's vacancy. Team Talk added: "'Man City have placed Leverkusen coach Xavi Alonso on the list as a replacement for Guardiola. Alonso led Leverkusen to a league championship last season, and won unbeaten. Alonso is not the only candidate, but his name is already being talked about among the leadership, he said.



Alonso beat Bayern Munich in Leverkusen last season to become a young master in Europe. In the first season of Leverkusen, he led a team that was in the relegation zone to 17th place to 6th place, making a turnaround.

Alonso was mentioned as a candidate for Real Madrid, Liverpool, Manchester United and Bayern Munich last summer, but stayed with the team, choosing to stay with Leverkusen. For Manchester City, if Alonso, who has already proven his skills in the Bundesliga, comes to replace Guardiola, he can expect to maintain his performance.

Meanwhile, in addition to Alonso, Hoobeng Amorim, who has a good managerial career in the Portuguese league, was also mentioned as a candidate, while Girona coach Miguel Sanchez is also known as one of the leading candidates.
