Eliminated from the Champions League but with Manchester City still in full competition playing in the Premier League and FA Cup, its board puts its focus further and looks askance at the end of a glorious era. Pep Guardiola (53 years old) feels less and less sane every day and, although a final decision has not yet been made, the feelings that the board breathes do not invite optimism . His contract ends in 2025 and less and less trust in a renewal for the Catalan.
For this reason - and for some time now - they have been preparing a future without Pep . There is no pressure. They have been anticipating for months that he may be living his last days at the club. He arrived for three years and this is his eighth season. "The future is controlled ," comments the leadership of the Mancuinan entity, confident of being able to maintain the competitive level when Santpedor leaves, which, in any case, will manage the times as it pleases . He has earned it through triumphs and titles since signing in July 2016. He is approaching his fourth consecutive Premier League and sixth in seven seasons, in addition to the first Champions League in its history.
For Guardiola, the professional has a specific weight in his decision, but at this point in his career, even above that, the personal appears . Many years away from his family, living alone in Manchester and keeping the level of motivation intact, with the mental and physical fatigue that this entails. The last word has not been said. He still resists a hint of hope and everything possible will be done to convince him . His excellent relationship with the leadership, especially with President Khaldoon Al Mubarak, and the freedom he enjoys to work can turn the tide. He signed his last renewal in 2022, extending his contract for two more years and pushing to the end. Why not try to get him to repeat, no matter how difficult it may seem...
Guardiola: “What a hell of a way to lose.”
Pep might not be the only traumatic departure for Manchester City. The feeling that Txiki Begiristain will leave his position as sports director is gaining strength . There is no specific date for this, but it is not ruled out that he will do it even before Guardiola. In his case, he arrived at the club in October 2012, so he is in his 12th season there. One of the coach's most trusted people, who, according to sources close to the club, is spending his days at the Etihad, despite the fact that his complicity with the president is total.
But, as has been said, no matter what happens, the leadership remains calm and contemplates the future with enthusiasm . The key is to cushion the blow of losing a leader and achieve a smooth transition with a reliable substitute. A profile that brings together similarities with Pep's style, and not only tactically. Also in charisma, in knowledge of football and in work. Combining these characteristics, the offices have already named a house candidate: Míchel Sánchez .

Míchel: “What the team is living is a dream.”
The Madrid native demonstrates in Girona his ability to not only win, but also to make his team play a game that is as effective as it is attractive . With a squad that, at the beginning of the season, no one saw at the top of LaLiga, they are close to getting their ticket to the next Champions League and throughout the first round and the beginning of the second they stood up to Real Madrid for the lead. He has managed to get the best level out of players like Aleix García, Yan Couto, Miguel Gutiérrez or Dobvyk. Although the end of the year is taking a long time, his merits seem sufficient to consider him as the revelation coach in Spanish football .
In the City Group he has earned everyone's respect . His personality and work ethic convince the board, which has supervised all his steps. He is precisely learning English , for what may happen in the future. Together with Delfí Gelfi (president), Pere Guardiola (president of the board of directors) and Quique Cárcel (sports director) they have turned Girona into a project of incontestable success. Pep has also seen it, who knows Míchel personally and has privately commented on his admiration for what he has achieved with the Gironí team.
The group gets healthy and considers other options . He knows that he can offer an unmatched project for the majority of coaches in the world, but he does not want to go in blindly. On the contrary, look for the ideal profile that best adapts to the idiosyncrasy of the club. May he continue Guardiola's legacy with his same values. Therefore, Míchel appears as a great candidate.

A candidate 'at home'
