Pep Guardiola has made his feelings clear to Barcelona about who should be the man to replace Xavi at the helm.
The former Barcelona boss has recommended Brighton coach Roberto De Zerbi as the best person to take charge of the hotseat, according to Catalunya Radio.
Guardiola has been full of praise for De Zerbi during his time at Brighton. He described him as “one of the most influential managers in the last 20 years” back in May.
The City boss also went on to speak in glowing terms about the Italian and his team’s style of football.
