Pep Guardiola will be ready to advise Manchester City when the club begins to look for his replacement as manager, DPA reported. The Spaniard is in the last year of his contract and, according to some information, he will not continue with the "citizens". He himself claims that he has not yet made a final decision whether he will stay for the tenth season of "Etihad".
When the time comes for the two sides to part ways, the coach has expressed his willingness to help. With City, Guardiola won six Premier League titles as well as the Champions League. "Of course, with the connections I have, if asked, I will give my opinion. However, the decision will be made by them, not by me," commented the specialist.
"I will give my opinion as a friend, as we have experienced unforgettable moments together. However, I would say that the new sporting director should choose the manager," added Guardiola.
Speculation about Guardiola's departure has also intensified due to the fact that the club's director and long-time friend of the coach, Chiki Begiristain, is leaving next summer.
Manchester City will visit Wolverhampton on Sunday. Playmaker Kevin De Bruyne and defender Nathan Ake are unlikely to start as they are not fully recovered from injuries sustained before the league break.
