Pep Guardiola no longer has the appetite to undergo a rebuild at Man City as his team continues to struggle on the pitch, a football TV host has claimed.
The Citizens have experienced an incredible amount of success and glory under the Catalonian since he arrived in 2016, but his time in charge looks to be coming to a swift conclusion at the Etihad.
Kevin de Bruyne could be one of multiple Man City stars leaving in the summer, with interest from Saudi Arabia and the MLS before the winter transfer window slammed shut.
While Erling Haaland has recently put pen to paper on a new deal at the Etihad Stadium, it has been speculated that the Man City striker will remain at the club just as long as Guardiola.
The City hierarchy might have a much bigger rebuild on their hands, and a far more difficult one if the current manager were to leave at the end of the season.
Pep Guardiola no longer has the appetite to manage Man City
Speaking via talkSPORT [20 February], TV host Hugh Woozencroft said: “There’s so much work for Man City to do to get back to where they want to be as a football club, even despite the fact they’ve got some brilliant players.
“I just don’t know if he’s got the energy to do it right now. He’s got the talent to do it, he’s got the talent to get the team back to where they want to be, but does he have the appetite to do it? It’ll probably take two seasons.
“They have the money to recruit, and they’ve already started that process, and they have a genius as a manager, but we’ve seen him go full-throttle for a while. I think that, maybe, he won’t be in charge next season.”
