Manchester City legend Sergio Aguero has weighed in on the future managerial landscape at the Etihad, naming Mikel Arteta as a strong candidate to eventually replace Pep Guardiola
Despite Guardiola extending his contract until 2027, Aguero believes Arteta is “qualified for the task” when the time comes.
Arteta, who previously worked under Guardiola at City before taking charge at Arsenal, has established himself as one of the most forward-thinking managers in the Premier League. His stock could rise further if he leads Arsenal to Champions League glory this season.
However, Guardiola’s legacy at City makes him a tough act to follow, and much will depend on Arteta’s ability to maintain success at Arsenal in the coming years. If he struggles to secure silverware, his tenure at the Gunners could come under scrutiny.
