Manchester City Consider Kolo Touré and Pep Lijnders for Guardiola’s Coaching Staff

Manchester City are thinking about adding Arsenal legend Kolo Touré and former Liverpool assistant Pep Lijnders to their coaching team. This comes after a big staff change at the Etihad.

MAJOR COACHING EXODUS AT CITY

Manchester City‘s summer changes have started. Three top coaches are leaving Pep Guardiola‘s team. Assistant managers Juanma Lillo and Inigo Dominguez will leave when their contracts end. Carlos Vicens has already left to coach Portuguese club SC Braga. Lillo, very important to Guardiola, wants to return to Spain instead of staying in England.

These changes are a big deal for Manchester City. They finished third in the Premier League this season and are getting ready for the FIFA Club World Cup in the U.S.

PROMINENT NAMES IN THE RUNNING

Two big names might join Guardiola’s new coaching team. Kolo Touré, a former player for Arsenal and Manchester City, and Pep Lijnders, who just left his job as Jürgen Klopp’s assistant at Liverpool, are being considered. Both have a lot of experience in English football.

Touré played for Arsenal, Manchester City, and Liverpool, so he knows the Premier League well. Lijnders has a great reputation for being smart about football tactics from his time at Anfield.

WHAT NEXT FOR GUARDIOLA?

Guardiola will decide on the new staff soon. He wants new ideas for his coaching team. This is important because City are going to the Club World Cup. They have a chance to win another trophy after a season that’s seen as disappointing for them.

These coaching changes might show a new direction for Guardiola. He’s been at Manchester City since 2016. The team finished third in the Premier League this season. This staff change might help them get back to the top of English football next season.
