Next Manager after Pep

Off the top of my head - Enrique, Ancelotti.
Enrique has only won silverware with Barcelona which was a forgone conclusion & he's not really working wonders as the Spain coach so i wouldn't say he was an elite manager.
As for Ancelotti he's in his 60's in the twilight of his managerial career so i doubt he's a manager City would be interested in.

How exactly was winning a Champions League with Barcelona a forgone conclusion. I’d day he had merit in it. I also think he is doing a good job with Spain. The team plays good football and they don’t have the best squad
 
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.
At present yes , if Pep signs for another five years you have no idea how Vinnies managerial career will progress , he took over at Anderlecht with them 8th in the table with 43pts , he has left two years later in 3rd position and 64pts , a definite improvement , not sure Solksjaer had a similar influence on the Rags.
 
"a few years time" is the clue , Anderlecht/Burnley are a rung on the ladder , Ancelloti started out at Reggiana many years ago , he seems to have done alright he was Juventus manager within five years.
Before he had taken over Juventus he had come second place at Serie A with Parma. And even then, he wasn’t exactly successful at Juventus.

The truth is, it’s unthinkable at this time for a top English club to hire a manager with no experience in the latter stages of the Champions League let alone no Champions League experience

With all due respect (sincerely!), whatever a manager does at Anderlecht is entirely meaningless. It’s like a different sport than our level
 
Fans of every club always dream about ex players coming to manage them. It’s gone on all my life. Whether it’s Neville to Man United, Rosler to City, Viera to Arsenal, Gerard to Liverpool…whatever. They’ve all been nailed on to happen as soon as the junior manager starts.

I can think of twice when it happened in my life: Lanpard to Chelsea and Solskeir to United and both were disasters. The reason is because that “club connection” thing is just romance; it’s irrelevant.

When Pep leaves City will get the best manager available and will not be taking any chances whatsoever because we are a well run club. It’s impossible to say who that is right now because we don’t know who’s available.

Di Matteo won the Champions League with Chelsea, it doesn't make him an elite manager.
As for the Spanish national team i would say Enrique is doing an average job.
