The Manchester City is already starting to plan its future beyond Pep Guardiola, and one of the names strongly rumored to take over the manager's position is Xabi Alonso. The Bayer Leverkusen coach is seen as one of the main alternatives to replace the Catalan coach in 2025 when his contract with the English club ends.

Although Guardiola has not yet decided whether he will continue or not, the club's management is already considering options, and Alonso is emerging as a potential successor, according to several sports media reports.

Xabi Alonso, another candidate to replace Guardiola

Initially, Rúben Amorim, the current coach of Sporting Clube de Portugal, was linked to the Manchester team, but the Portuguese denied the rumors, leading City to explore other options. The former Spanish footballer has excelled in the Bundesliga, leading Bayer Leverkusen to historic titles, including a league and a German Cup, as well as reaching the Europa League final last season.

Xabi Alonso, who has established himself as one of the most promising coaches in Europe, is also being eyed by Real Madrid, which could seek his services in the near future. The interest from the Spanish club adds a level of complexity to City's chances of securing his signing, as the Madrid team may also need a replacement for Carlo Ancelotti.

With uncertainty surrounding Guardiola's future and the growing interest in Alonso, the outlook for the Manchester City bench in 2025 is full of uncertainties. Meanwhile, everything will depend on Guardiola's decision and how the contractual situation evolves both in England and at Bayer Leverkusen.
