"Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola's current contract runs until 2027 (Image credit: Getty Images) Manchester City have reportedly identified one of their former players as a potential Pep Guardiola replacement. Speculation around Guardiola's future now feels like an annual event, and that cycle does not appear to be fading, despite City's fortunes seemingly turning from a poor display last term."
"One of those rising to the top of the current pile, according to Spanish website Fichajes, is former City defender and captain, Vincent Kompany. The Belgian, who already has his own statue outside the Etihad Stadium, played 360 times for the club, and is ranked at No.6 in FourFourTwo's list of the best Premier League defenders of all time.

"He's already got a fairly significant job on his hands, as head coach of a little-known German outfit called Bayern Munich, but an emotional return to his former side would surely prove difficult to turn down. Kompany was a shock appointment for Die Roten, coming off the back of a turgid season with Burnley, but he went on to lift the Bundesliga title in his first season, following a trophyless campaign for the German giants a season before."
Pep Guardiola's current Manchester City contract runs until 2027. Manchester City are preparing for a future managerial transition by identifying potential successors. Vincent Kompany has emerged as a leading candidate due to his playing legacy at the club and perceived tactical abilities. Kompany made 360 appearances for City, holds a statue outside the Etihad, and ranks highly among Premier League defenders. Kompany currently manages Bayern Munich and won the Bundesliga in his first season after joining. City value both his coaching credentials and his emotional ties to the club as factors in considering him.
