Pep Guardiola to QUIT Man City?! Revered manager tipped to make shock Etihad exit & link up with Christian Pulisic at AC Milan

Per multiple reports in Italy, Milan are considering a move to appoint Roberto De Zerbi as their new manager once Paratici takes up his post as sporting director. However, Guardiola has been cited as a long-term target, ahead of the 2025-26 season, seemingly hinting that the club would do whatever they can to bring the Spaniard to Italy were he to express an interest.

While the reports accept that the prospect of Guardiola moving are remote, City have endured a terrible season and sit fifth in the Premier League table, 22 points behind leaders Liverpool. The former Barcelona and Bayern Munich boss has previously hinted that he would be willing to quit if City's awful form were to persist, despite signing a new contract earlier this season.

Milan are currently ninth in Serie A, and are facing up to the prospect of a season without European football. They are nine points behind Bologna in fourth, and five behind Roma in sixth - the final Europa Conference League qualification place - despite the presence of United States star Christian Pulisic.

City face Leicester on Wednesday evening, before a derby clash with Manchester United this weekend. They must keep winning if they are to qualify for the Champions League.
