The management of Manchester City is considering potential replacements for Pep Guardiola

In football circles, there is speculation that Pep Guardiola will leave Manchester City in the summer of 2025 when his contract with the club expires.

The club's management has already started looking for potential candidates to replace him. According to Daily Mail, Manchester City is considering several options: Michel, currently coaching Girona, Germany's head coach Julian Nagelsmann, Bayer Leverkusen's manager Xabi Alonso, and Roberto De Zerbi.

Bookmakers have also begun accepting bets on who will become Manchester City's next coach. The main favourites are:

• Roberto De Zerbi - 4
• Vincent Kompany - 6
• Xabi Alonso - 7
• Zinedine Zidane - 8.5
• Mikel Arteta - 10

Additionally, there have been reports that both Bayern Munich and Barcelona, clubs Guardiola has previously coached successfully, are interested in bringing him back.

Guardiola has been managing Manchester City since the summer of 2016. Under his leadership, the "Citizens" have won five Premier League titles, and if they defeat West Ham in the final round of the current season, they will secure their sixth title.

Last season, Manchester City won the Champions League for the first time in their history.
