Pep Guardiola Denies Tipping Brighton's Roberto De Zerbi As Manchester City's Successor
Pep Guardiola has denied tipping Brighton boss Roberto De Zerbi to be his successor at Manchester City. A recent report claimed Guardiola told a group of Brighton players his De Zerbi prediction after City drew at the Amex Stadium in May. Guardiola, whose City contract runs until 2025, reportedly said "that's the next Manchester City manager" about De Zerbi, whose impressive work with the Seagulls has earned him admiration across the Premier League.
