Guardiola says Man City successor cannot be 'copy and paste'
Pep Guardiola said he hoped his successor can be true to themselves, warning that any attempt to find a carbon copy of him would likely backfire. He said this ahead of City's final league game of the season at home against Aston Villa. He stated, "It doesn't work to copy and paste in this kind of job."
Guardiola, who led City to six Premier League titles, a Champions League triumph and the Club World Cup, will leave at the end of the season after a decade in charge. Italian Enzo Maresca is reported to be the leading candidate for the top job at the Manchester club. Maresca has previously coached Chelsea and Leicester City and also worked under Guardiola as an assistant at City.
Guardiola said he was confident there was no cause for concern regarding the 115 charges of alleged breaches of the Premier League's financial rules. He said, "Because I trust them! Because I spoke with them and I trust how they behave and (what) they did. So what happened - there will be the resolution. I trust them."
