Enzo Maresca "high among candidates" to replace Guardiola if he leaves next summer

[Ric]

Hmm.

 

[waspish]

Yeah can see that I think he is good manager..

 

[bluemc]

Can't read the article as I'm not subscribed, does it mention any other potential candidates?

Maresca is an interesting one. Wouldn't consider him a strong candidate based solely on his work at Chelsea, but then it's not a club known for being a stable environment. The hierarchy at City will obviously have a view on him and his potential, based on his time at the club.

 

[Centurions]

Yeah can see that I think he is good manager..

And they can just reuse the graphics with Pep in them, no one will notice the difference.

 

[Gordyola]

Media mischief! Ashan on 93:20 pod has been ferreting away and he’s been told Pep will be there next season and possibly beyond I’d trust him more than any journalist

 

[blue b4 the moon]

In football terms is next summer 2026 or 2027?

I'm assuming Ornstein means 2027 as otherwise he'd have used the end of the season.

As it is, I expect all things being equal for Pep to do another 2/3 seasons after this one. The only caveat is things like personal reasons.

 

[hcblue95]

Fuck that. Don't think he's shown much to say he'd be up to the job.

Hard to judge at Chelsea, I'll grant that.

Yeah, that was my first thought; what are the other names mentioned?

Yeah, I'd be very surprised if Pep left before the end of his current contract (2027).

I think he's handled the step up in level, politics and largely mediocre squad there pretty well

Pretty much whoever we get will be a downgrade unfortunately.

 

[pudge]

Not surprising. Been at the club and doing quite well at Chelsea in my opinion.

If Pep goes at the end of this season then he would make sense given his unrest at Chelsea, if Pep stays until the end of his deal then maybe makes Kompany a bit more likely.

 

[cleavers]

Yeah, I'd be very surprised if Pep left before the end of his current contract (2027).

I don't think he's ever left a job before his contract has expired has he ?

 

[Gumzy97]

Hmm.

Not a bad record

 

[Sky Blue]

We must be doing well.

 

[Earlyriser]

He's another volatile Italian whose mood seems to depend on what side of the bed he got out of. Don't need that at City

 

[citytill1die84]

I'm calling bollocks.

 

[M16 citeh]

The minute the we get into title winning form these stories always break... Next...

 

[Asa's left peg]

Must be right. It's Ornstein.

 

[Bozo]

Thanks no thanks

 

[dadnlad]

come on Amorim or Franks must head list anything else is a disappointment
