While Erling Haaland has recently put pen to paper on a new deal at the Etihad Stadium, it has been speculated that the Man City striker will remain at the club just as long as Guardiola.

The City hierarchy might have a much bigger rebuild on their hands, and a far more difficult one if the current manager were to leave at the end of the season.

Speaking via talkSPORT [20 February], TV host Hugh Woozencroft said: “There’s so much work for Man City to do to get back to where they want to be as a football club, even despite the fact they’ve got some brilliant players.

“I just don’t know if he’s got the energy to do it right now. He’s got the talent to do it, he’s got the talent to get the team back to where they want to be, but does he have the appetite to do it? It’ll probably take two seasons.

“They have the money to recruit, and they’ve already started that process, and they have a genius as a manager, but we’ve seen him go full-throttle for a while. I think that, maybe, he won’t be in charge next season.”

Sheikh Mansour has had an incredibly easy journey for the last decade, having a successful manager paving the way for plenty of silverware, and prize money, and attracting people from all over the world.

However, it has been suggested that Man City players are becoming tired of Guardiola following their dismal defeat to Real Madrid in the Champions League.

With Kyle Walker already on loan at AC Milan, Ilkay Gundogan nowhere near the player he used to be, and John Stones clearly unable to stay fit, there need to be several signings made in the summer.

All of those changes are already difficult enough, but having to find another talented manager on top of that would be a huge ask in just one summer.

Luckily, some of those changes are already being made, with Omar Marmoush, Nico Gonzalez, Abdukodir Khusanov and Vitor Reis added to the squad during the last transfer window.

It will still take a lot of funds to rebuild the current team, with multiple faces likely to leave at the end of the season, but plans are clearly already in place and the wheel has started to spin.
