Manchester City is aiming to appoint Hugo Viana as the new director of football, succeeding Txiki Begiristain, who will step down at season's end.
Viana, who has an impressive background as Sporting Lisbon's director of football, previously played for clubs like Newcastle United and Valencia and has won 29 caps for Portugal.
Sporting's success during Viana’s tenure, including titles in 2021 and 2024, showcases his effective leadership and ability to compete against rivals like Benfica and FC Porto.
Begiristain’s departure raises uncertainty around Pep Guardiola’s future at City, with Guardiola’s contract expiring at the end of the season and the club seeking clarity.
