Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool exit bombshell reminds us that nothing is forever. One day, Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City reign shall also end once he grows sufficiently weary of winning all those trophies all the time. Who knows, ennui may take him sooner than expected now he’s robbed of the prospect of further tussles with the man he calls his greatest rival.
Guardiola has said he will still be at City next season, but he’s a bit more vague beyond that and it is the last year of his current deal. Really looks like he might be around only one more year. But whether it’s now, in a year or further down the line, at some point in the future Manchester City will find themselves once again looking for a new manager.
Who’s that going to be, then? According to the latest available odds, chances are it’s one of these lads. 10) Kieran McKenna McKenna’s time is surely this summer when everything is ludicrous, not next summer when he’s either led Ipswich to blameless but inevitable relegation or is either ensconced at or recently sacked by your Chelseas or Manchester Uniteds. Hard to see how any of these scenarios equal ‘Pep Guardiola’s replacement at Manchester City’.
9) Luis Enrique Can’t really see how being manager of Paris St-Germain could be any preparation for being manager of Manchester City. Just entirely different jobs. 8) Julian Nagelsmann Sh*tting the bed when you finally get the chance at a genuine superclub is not a great way to go about getting anoth.
