Manchester City’s former captain Ilkay Gundogan, now playing for Barcelona, is being praised by Pep Guardiola for his potential as a future manager. Gundogan played a key role in City’s historic Treble-winning season before departing for Barcelona. There are reports of a potential return to Manchester City in a managerial position.

It is believed by Guardiola and his inner circle that Gundogan has the qualities to lead Manchester City as a manager in the future.
