Pep Guardiola ends contract with him Manchester City and could change scene at the end of the season. The investigation into the English team for which he could be punished with relegation as well as the departure of Txiki Begiristain could cause the Catalan coach not to renew and choose to embark on a new adventure. If so, taking the reins of the English team ahead of the World Cup in the United States, Mexico and Canada would be an option for him. Manchester City, for its part, does not want Pep Guardiola’s departure to catch it on the back foot and is already thinking of two alternatives to relieve him. The main favorite to take over from the Spaniard would be another Spaniard, Xabi Alonso; while Rúben Amorim It would be your alternative.
This is what he assures The Athletic. As for Xabi Alonso, he has a contract with Bayer Leverkusen until 2026same date until which you have a contract Carlo Ancelotti with Real Madrid, which indicates that he will be his replacement for the white team. However, the opportunity to coach Manchester City could come a season earlier if Pep Guardiola does not renew, a very tempting option for him.
Manchester City’s alternative to Xabi Alonso
This option would be even more tempting for Rúben Amorin, who has spent his entire career in Portugal. Precisely for this reason, his candidacy would generate more doubts in Manchester City, although he would be endorsed by his compatriot Hugo Vianawho will replace Txiki Begiristain as sports director of the English team. Hugo Viana will arrive from Sporting Portugal and he could do it with Rúben Amorin, who has led the Portuguese team since March 4, 2020.
Questioned by Hugo Viana and his future, Pep Guardiola said at a press conference: “Hugo Viana and I have different and separate paths. His appointment does not mean that I am going to Manchester City. We have a very good professional relationship”.
