Manchester City is reportedly eyeing Xabi Alonso as a potential successor to current manager Pep Guardiola. The former Liverpool midfielder, who is currently managing Spanish side Real Sociedad B, is being considered by the Premier League champions as a possible replacement for Guardiola when he decides to move on.
Alonso’s appointment would come with the backing of Guardiola himself, who holds the former player in high regard. The Spanish tactician has openly praised Alonso’s coaching abilities and believes that his tactical knowledge and experience would make him a suitable candidate to take over the reins at Manchester City.
Considering Guardiola’s successful tenure at the Etihad Stadium, the club’s hierarchy will likely take his recommendation into serious consideration when the time comes to appoint a new manager. Alonso’s impressive playing career and gradual rise in the coaching ranks have made him an attractive option for top clubs looking for a fresh approach to their management.
While Guardiola’s departure from Manchester City may not be imminent, discussions about potential successors have already begun. Xabi Alonso’s name has emerged as a strong contender for the position, and if all goes according to plan, he may find himself leading one of the biggest clubs in English football in the near future.
