If Pep Guardiola leaves, who will coach Abdukadir Khusanov?

In the world press, information began to circulate that Josep Guardiola, who has been successfully managing Manchester City since 2015, will leave the club in the summer after the problems of the current season.

In particular, the journalist of the Footmercato publication Josep Pedrerol wrote that Josep Guardiola actually wanted to leave the team last summer, that he wanted to become the head coach of the England national team.

However, the English Football Association decided to hand over the country's main team to the experienced German specialist Thomas Tuchel.

Since Guardiola did not have any concrete offers at the time, he preferred to stay at Manchester City and extended his current contract for another year. According to the new agreement, the Spanish specialist will manage the “city” until the summer of 2027.

However, it is known that Josep Guardiola has not given up on the idea of ​​​​ending his career at Manchester City. He is preparing to say goodbye to the team after the end of this season.

Another authoritative source - experts from El Nacional - claim that the owners of Manchester City began to raise the issue of replacing the head coach after the team failed to resist Real Madrid in both of the Champions League play-offs.

According to the source, the appointment of a new head coach has become the most widely discussed and main and urgent issue at the club.

Manchester City management is currently pushing for the only coach who can replace Pep Guardiola - Xabi Alonso, who has made significant and positive changes at Bayer Leverkusen.

Under Xabi Alonso, Bayer Leverkusen broke Bayern's hegemony last season and became the German champion for the first time in their history, winning the national cup.

In addition, the club owners really like the attacking style of play that Xabi Alonso uses.

Frankly, bringing Xabi Alonso to Manchester City will not be easy. Because Real Madrid is also waiting for this specialist. Madrid wants to hand over the coaching position, which has long been occupied by Carlo Ancelotti, to Xabi Alonso.

The European press has also repeatedly reported that the Spanish specialist is interested in managing Real Madrid. It is even said that Xabi Alonso extended his contract with Leverkusen until the summer of 2026, the same date Ancelotti gave him to leave Madrid, so that other clubs would not bother him.

In short, Abdukadir Khusanov, who became a Manchester City player on January 20, may have to spend half a season under Pep Guardiola.

However, it is worth noting that Xabi Alonso, who is also planning to sign for Manchester United, also paid attention to Abdukadir Khusanov when he was playing for Lens.
