Former Arsenal winger Theo Walcott has identified a potential replacement for Pep Guardiola at Manchester City. As City near their fourth consecutive Premier League title, Walcott believes that Cesc Fabregas could be an ideal successor to Guardiola.
Currently, Manchester City is on the verge of securing the Premier League title, leading Arsenal by two points. Despite their success on the pitch, Guardiola’s future with the club remains uncertain as his contract is set to expire at the end of the next season. Recent reports suggest that Guardiola may consider leaving if the team faces relegation as a result of alleged Financial Fair Play violations.
Walcott praised Fabregas for his winning mentality and leadership qualities, comparing him to successful managers like Xabi Alonso and Mikel Arteta. Fabregas has been working as an assistant manager at Serie B club Como, guiding them to a promotion to Serie A. Walcott believes that Fabregas’s knowledge, passion, and work ethic make him a compelling candidate for a managerial role in the Premier League, potentially at Manchester City.
The former Arsenal player highlighted Fabregas’s ability to inspire players and drive success, suggesting that he could be a suitable replacement for Guardiola when the time comes for the Spaniard to step down. Walcott expressed admiration for Fabregas’s dedication to continuous improvement and success, indicating that the former midfielder’s transition into coaching is a natural progression that could benefit a club like Manchester City in the future.
