If Pep decides to leave at the end of the season I think Luis Enrique would be a great shout. But think and hope Pep will do 10 years with City.
Vieira won’t be competing for titles and won’t be managing at Champions League games, therefore he is ruled out. We won’t be giving a manager their big chance, we will pick someone who has proven they don’t choke at the highest level already. That is the problem with Arteta, I think he’s already failed enough at Arsenal to be ruled out no matter what he does next, given how much they spent. And I think he’ll continue not to manage Champions League there. Kompany is only brought up because of his past as a player, but again he will be nowhere near tested at a high enough level. The manager I keep an eye on is Nagelsmann depending what he does at Bayern and because they don’t keep managers there too long (we got Pep from there as well…). Maybe we could lure Flick out of the German national team as well? I have a suspicion we would be looking at a German manager. If not, I’d keep an eye at Sporting manager Ruben Amorim, still quite young and successfully having implemented ideas similar to oursThink Vieira has a good chance depends what he does at palace next few seasons! City think very highly of him as a coach, but we will see.

If Vinny gets the Burnley job and makes a decent fist of it , would love to see him back at the club in a few years time.
Nothing wrong with wanting an ex legend taking on the roll. Look at Pep, he was promoted to the Barcelona head coach & look what happened there.Yeah, coaching Burnley in the championship really sets you up well for the City job.
Take your blue specs off.
Who would you suggest is an elite world class manager?Whoever replaces Guardiola has to be an elite world class manager.
Vinny, Arteta and Viera aren’t even playing the same sport. Arteta has potential and was by all accounts a brilliant number two, but look at the way Arsenal bottled the top four this season. He’s nowhere near the top level yet.
Vinny is about as qualified as Solskaer.
Everyone is allowed to want whoever they want, but reality usually has a different outcome. As for the Barcelona/Pep example: They had a structure in place and a squad to back him. At Barcelona, even if you fail you’d still end up at top 2. And he’d shown at Barcelona B he was a genius already. They don’t promote too many Barcelona B managers for first team historically. It’s an entirely different situation and we don’t know how long Txiki and others will even be around here post Pep. We can’t afford to fail an appointment of a manager. Just look at United or even Barcelona. They have to be tested and successful.Nothing wrong with wanting an ex legend taking on the roll.

Add to that ,they need to playing similar possesion football.Whoever replaces Guardiola has to be an elite world class manager.
