Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola has reached an ‘agreement in principle’ to take over as coach of the Brazilian national team
Man City coach Guardiola saw “obvious signs of fatigue” and reached “an agreement” on the next project
Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola has reached an ‘agreement in principle’ to take over as coach of the Brazilian national team.
The Citizens made a strong start to the new Premier League season but things took a turn for the worse after Rodri suffered a serious knee injury which will rule the Spain international out for the rest of the season.
Manchester City have recorded four consecutive defeats in all competitions, an unprecedented record for a team led by coach Guardiola.
In particular, they performed poorly in the second half of last weekend’s game against Brighton, losing 2-1.
Coach Guardiola has won the Premier League six times, the FA Cup twice, the League Cup four times, the Champions League once, the UEFA Super Cup once and the FIFA Club World Cup once.
The Catalan is out of contract at the end of this season and there are significant doubts whether he will sign a new deal or end his spell at the Etihad Stadium.
Manchester City are clearly keen to keep him and are believed to have given him a Christmas deadline to decide if they want to stay or if the Citizens should look for him as a successor.
Another issue is that hearings into breaches of the Premier League’s financial fair play rules continue. Manchester City could face a points deduction, relegation or even the sack if found guilty, according to reports.
Manchester City have denied any wrongdoing, but the outcome of the incident could have a big impact on Guardiola’s decision to stay at the Etihad or move on.
Manchester City are hoping to convince Guardiola to sign a new contract during the international break, TBR Football reported yesterday.
