Pep Guardiola is expected to leave Manchester City this summer, prompting speculation about his successor. Here are five leading candidates to take over at the Etihad.
Enzo Maresca
The Italian is the clear favourite to succeed Guardiola. Currently a free agent after leaving Chelsea earlier this season, Maresca previously worked as Guardiola's assistant at City. He has since enjoyed success at Leicester and Chelsea.
Vincent Kompany
The former City captain spent nine years at the club as a player and is adored by fans. Despite suffering relegation with Burnley in his previous Premier League managerial stint, Kompany has since won the Bundesliga twice with Bayern Munich.
Andoni Iraola
The Spaniard has flourished at Bournemouth over the last three years and has announced he will leave the Cherries at the end of the season, freeing him up to potentially replace Guardiola.
Oliver Glasner
The Austrian coach has confirmed he will leave Crystal Palace this summer after leading the Eagles to FA Cup glory last year. He has the chance to win the Conference League with Palace next week before departing.
Cesc Fabregas
The former Arsenal and Chelsea midfielder may lack experience, but he has thrived at Como this season, leading the Serie A club into Europe. He is widely regarded as one of the brightest young coaches in European football.
