Coach Pep Guardiola (52), who led Manchester City (Manchester City) last season, won the English Premier League (EPL) and won the FA Cup and the UEFA Champions League to achieve the “European treble,” picked Italian great Roberto De Gerbi (44) as his successor.

Recently, the “Telegraph” pointed out that Pep has already made his intention clear about the next coach. “Coach Pep has clearly expressed his feelings,” the media reported. “He is currently under the leadership of Brighton & Hove Albion, and has picked Jerbi as the man to take over the leadership of Manchester City.”
He also mentioned what happened after the match last season. He paid attention to what Pep told the players after the match between Brighton and Manchester City ended on May 23 this year (Korean time). The Telegraph reported that Pep approached the three Brighton players after the match ended in a 1-1 draw. “He nodded to De Gehrby,” adding, “That’s the next manager for Manchester City.”
Pep will likely leave Manchester City at the end of this season. He did not directly mention his departure, but he has not expressed his intention to remain, which is why he will highly likely take on another challenge. There are already talks about his next destination, including the Spanish national team. Chances are high that he will lead Manchester City well this season and announce a good bye.
In this atmosphere, the media is showing great interest in replacing Pep. In past interviews, Pep also mentioned DeGerbi. “DeGerbi is one of the most influential coaches,” he said. “No team plays the way DeGerbi’s club plays. It’s very unique.”
During his active career, DeGerbi played as an attacking midfielder and winger, while playing for Serie A club AC Milan and Napoli. With excellent left foot kick capability, DeGerbi has played for 13 different clubs during his 15-year professional career. He became the coach of Darpo Boario in 2013, and has led Brighton since last season after playing for Palermo, Sassuolo, and Shakhtar Donetsk.
He plays soccer in a similar style to Pep’s. He builds up the back of the ball based on short passes. He led Brighton last season and ranked sixth in the EPL. He is currently ranked eighth this season. Not only Manchester City but also Manchester United, Liverpool and Real Madrid are mentioned as successors.
