Manchester City manager, Manuel Pellegrini has expressed a desire to see Pep Guardiola coach the Citizens in the nearest future.
The Chilean tactician’s contract expires in 2017 and Guardiola, whose present contract at Bayern Munich expires next year, has been heavily linked to the Etihad Stadium.
Pellegrini said: “I cannot talk about Pep because I am not Pep but what I can say is that I’m sure important managers always want to work here in the Premier League,’ said the Manchester City manager ahead of his game at Arsenal on Monday night.
“Pep Guardiola will work here, I don’t know if it is next season here or at another club, I am not sure. Some day he will come here.
“I hope he will have the option to work at Manchester City because I love this club and I hope in the future he can do it also as I am sure that he will be very important for the club also.
“That is a lot of things that will happen in the future! When is the future? You never know. But if the future is next year, the only thing I am worried about is this year trying to win the most amount of titles I can and not worry about the other things.”
City are presently third on the league table with 32 points in 16 games, a point behind second-placed Arsenal, who they will be playing at the Emirates Stadium on Monday.
