"Pep will probably choose the next manager. If he is going, he will probably be part of the process to choose the next one. I just think in terms of Pep, he looks at himself as a bit of a teacher, and he has been at the club for 10 years, he will want to leave the club in a good place."
"When Ferguson opted to retire in 2013, he played a leading role in identifying his replacement at United. Attempts to attract Jose Mourinho and Guardiola to Old Trafford did not succeed, prompting Ferguson to hand-pick David Moyes as his successor."
"I'm lucky to have worked with Pep for three-and-a-half years. It's been an amazing time, as we all know, and no matter what happens in the future, we still need to keep pushing."
Wayne Rooney suggests that Pep Guardiola will probably play a significant role in selecting his successor at Manchester City, following the precedent set by Sir Alex Ferguson at Manchester United. Rooney believes Guardiola views himself as a teacher and, after a decade at City, will want to ensure the club transitions smoothly. Ferguson's 2013 retirement involved him hand-picking David Moyes as successor after failing to attract Jose Mourinho or Guardiola. Despite having 16 months remaining on his contract, speculation surrounds Guardiola's potential early departure. Erling Haaland's recent comments about appreciating his time with Guardiola have fueled further speculation about the manager's future at the club.
