Xabi Alonso as MAN CITY's Next Boss
Xabi Alonso is tipped as a leading candidate to replace Pep Guardiola at Manchester City amid Guardiola's possible departure. Details inside.
According to The Telegraph, Xabi Alonso is expected to be on a three-man shortlist to succeed Pep Guardiola as Manchester City manager.
The Premier League circles are increasingly convinced that Guardiola could leave the Etihad at the end of the season, ending his decade-long spell in charge of the club.
Sources from Manchester City have dismissed these reports as "pure speculation," though behind the scenes, planning for various scenarios is reportedly underway.
Recently sacked by Real Madrid, Alonso is seen as a leading candidate due to his tactical profile and experience at the highest level.
Also mentioned among the contenders is Enzo Maresca. The Italian recently informed Chelsea that before his dismissal last month, he had talks with both Manchester City and Juventus.
Cesc Fàbregas, currently head coach at Como, would reportedly only leave his post for one of the top jobs in English or European football.
