My understanding is Pep Guardiola will step down at the end of the season with Enzo Maresca all but agreed to take charge next season.
Let me explain.
Everyone at their club knows this is the direction of travel and they have gone as far as to talk about naming a stand in his honour.
The reason it has not been reported as of yet is because every single credible journalist fears Pep and his erratic nature of making a U-Turn โout of the blueโ and you cant attach your lifes work and reputation to such a erratic yet genius human being without being 100000% sure and I respect that.
In summary, City have prepared for life without him with everything in place hoping he says โ we cannoh replace meโ
The direction of travel is for him to step down and they have agreed an in-depth package with Maresca.
They will deny it and I respect that butโฆ
Let the chips fall where they may.
Should tell you everything you need to know about this manager that in seven years heโs never been able to get a single player scoring more than 18 goals in a season. After spending ยฃ1b and having coached one of the best centre forwards of his generation.
