19 | Ilkay Gundogan - 2024/25

I suspect he is being lined up for a coaching role, and his statements this week about the balance between tactics and endeavour were very apt.
I think after listening to him speak for a few years he’s absolutely destined for a coaching role. Not sure it’ll be with Pep though.
 
I know it's only one game but just watched the City v Palace game again and he was excellent. What also surprised me was his physicality and battling spirit throughout the whole game. Can contribute a lot to the team and definitely worth keeping for one more season.
He is not as mobile as he has been but such an intelligent footballer and very good player. I wouldn’t be in a rush to see him out of the door, especially with KDB going.
 
Not much in it. Gundo shades it in terms of playing career but both started at the bottom in terms of first team coaching.
Personality wise I think they’re poles apart (gundo and arteta). I don’t see gundo working with pep. I see him back in Germany, ?dortmund and starting there. IMO he has a completely different character to pep and I don’t think they’d work well as a coaching team.

He was Pep's first City signing, lived next door to him, and was ready to come back to City as soon as Pep needed him.

I suspect that they get on very well and trust each other almost implicitly when it comes to football matters.

One thing I've worked out over nearly 10 years... Coaches don't come to work with Pep as a team... they work for him in a team. It's Pep's way or the highway.

They come to learn from him.
