As Manchester City gears up for a potential transition, whispers of change are echoing throughout the club following the news that Txiki Begiristain may step down after this season. Having a pivotal force behind the club, his departure could indicate the dawn of a new chapter in the reigning champions. With this transition in sight, City appears ready to unveil the individual tasked with guiding them into this forthcoming era.
According to sources Sam Lee and David Ornstein from The Athletic, Manchester City is on the brink of appointing Hugo Viana from Sporting Lisbon to take on the vital role of director of football. The reports suggest that the appointment of Viana’s could come as soon as next week. However, both Sporting Lisbon and Viana himself have opted to remain tight-lipped, offering no comments regarding the move.
The final remains on the future of Pep Guardiola. Will the esteemed manager be part of this new regime under Viana? Guardiola’s presence could provide the ideal foundation for this new phase, and both fans and pundits alike are hopeful that he will collaborate with Viana to construct what could be the next chapter of success for the world champions. His involvement would undoubtedly complement Viana’s appointment, solidifying City’s ambitions for future glory.
