ENGLAND: PEP GUARDIOLA SET TO JOIN MANCHESTER CITY!
According to beIN Sport, Pep Guardiola is set to take over the reins at Manchester City, marking a major managerial move in the Premier League. The report indicates that an agreement has already been reached between the Spanish tactician and the English club.
🔁 The Key Figures Behind the Deal:
-
Txiki Begiristain (Sporting Director)
-
Ferran Soriano (CEO)
Both worked closely with Guardiola during their successful time at FC Barcelona, and are believed to have been instrumental in convincing him to make the switch to the Etihad Stadium.
❌ Pellegrini Out?
Current manager Manuel Pellegrini has been under pressure due to inconsistent performances, and Guardiola is expected to replace him at the end of the season.
🇨🇮 Yaya Touré’s Future in Doubt
The news also coincides with reports of Yaya Touré’s impending departure. The Ivorian midfielder had a complicated relationship with Guardiola during their time together at Barça, and his exit could pave the way for a new midfield era under Pep.
If confirmed, Guardiola’s arrival would set the stage for an epic managerial showdown in England, especially with José Mourinho also heavily linked with a return to the Premier League.
