Manchester City are reportedly already preparing for a post-Pep Guardiola world.
The club are working on a succession plan for their manager, whose contract expires in the summer of 2025.
Guardiola hinted he could extend his deal at the Etihad Stadium earlier this season and the club would love to keep him on.
However, he will have managed City for nine seasons by the end of his contract - longer than his tenures at Barcelona and Bayern Munich put together - and City acknowledge that he will not be around forever.
