Etihad Stadium officials are already looking for a replacement for current manager Pep Guardiola when he eventually leaves. Guardiola has had a successful tenure with Manchester City, winning all major trophies including the UEFA Champions League, UEFA Super Cup, and FIFA Club World Cup last season. However, his contract runs until 2025, leaving the club to consider potential replacements in the future.

Reports suggest that Manchester City’s hierarchy is keeping an eye on the coaching market and have a particular admiration for Arsenal’s Mikel Arteta, as well as other potential candidates like Roberto De Zerbi and Xabi Alonso. The club wants to be prepared for Guardiola’s potential departure and not be caught off guard, as they plan for a smooth transition when the time comes.

Former coaches and players at Manchester City who have gone on to successful managerial careers, such as Enzo Maresca and Vincent Kompany, could also be of interest to the club. The Etihad Stadium is known for providing opportunities for talented individuals to make a mark in the coaching world, and officials are considering various options for the future leadership of the team.
