Guardiola to choose Manchester City
Former Barcelona boss Pep Guardiola will replace Roberto Mancini as manager of English champions Manchester City in the summer, according to reports.
Guardiola, 41, said last Monday he was ready to return to coaching after stepping down from the Barcelona job at the end of last season having guided them to 14 trophies in his four years in charge, including two Champions League titles.
The Sun on Sunday claims Guardiola will opt for City over Chelsea because he sees the Abu Dhabi-owned side as being the more likely to challenge for European honors despite the London side having won the Champions League last season.
"It is 100 per cent certain that Guardiola is going to City this summer,” a high level source in Spanish football told the paper.
According to the paper, Guardiola will become the highest-paid manager in England on €12million (£10m) a year after tax.
