Arsenal backed to beat Man City and name Pep Guardiola as next manager

Pep Guardiola's contract at Bayern Munich runs out at the end of this season

SPANISH football expert Guillem Balague thinks Arsenal should target Pep Guardiola as an eventual replacement for manager Arsene Wenger.

 

The Bayern Munich boss's contract is up at the end of the season and he is yet to commit his future to the German giants.

Guardiola has been linked to numerous positions, with Manchester City and England national team two possible destinations.

Some reports even suggest he has already agreed to take over at City, however Balague has a different opinion.

When asked about his thoughts on Carlo Ancelotti one day managing the Gunners, he said:  “I can, but has Wenger announced he is leaving?

 

"I have a better plan, why not Pep Guardiola?

“Top directors at Man City are quite positive about the possibility of Guardiola becoming the next City manager.

"But if I was at Arsenal I would try to convince him to come to London before he signs any contract with City.”
