Abdukodir Khusanov may get a new chance at Man City

Uzbekistan national team defender Abdukodir Khusanov could be presented with a new opportunity at Manchester City, UPL.uz reported. Recent changes in the coaching staff may influence the future of the young player, who is still working to establish himself at one of the world’s top clubs.

Manchester City recently announced that three key members of Pep Guardiola’s coaching team — Juanma Lillo, Inigo Dominguez, and Carlos Vicens — will leave after the 2024/25 season. Vicens is set to become head coach of Portugal’s Benfica. These changes are part of an effort to refresh the club’s training methods and approach.

According to renowned football journalist Fabrizio Romano, the club is already considering new candidates for the vacancies, including Kolo Touré and Pep Lijnders. Both have top-level experience — Lijnders was a long-time assistant under Jürgen Klopp at Liverpool.

Husanov became the first Uzbek player to sign with Manchester City, making him a national icon and a source of inspiration for young footballers in Uzbekistan. Read 'Zamin' on Telegram!
