Manchester City could undergo a significant transformation in the summer of 2025. The departure of Txiki Begiristain from the club’s sporting director role marked the beginning of a new chapter for the ‘skyblue’ project, with Hugo Viana stepping in as his replacement.

However, the changes at the Etihad Stadium may not end there. Pep Guardiola’s contract expires in June 2025, and the coach has yet to confirm his decision regarding his future. While City has presented Guardiola with a substantial renewal offer, the Catalan manager remains undecided, leaving uncertainty about his continuity.

Manchester City Eyes Ruben Amorim as Guardiola’s Successor
According to The Guardian, Ruben Amorim has been identified as the prime candidate to replace Guardiola should he depart. Hugo Viana’s familiarity with Amorim, from their time together at Sporting Lisbon, has been a significant factor in the City board's decision. Together, they ended Benfica and Porto’s dominance in Portuguese football, and City believes Amorim possesses the qualities needed to step into Guardiola’s shoes.
