The departure of Txiki Begiristain from Manchester City at the end of the season has triggered an active search for his replacement in the sporting direction, a key role in the club's recent successes. For over a decade, Begiristain has been a crucial part of building a team that has dominated the Premier League, so finding someone to fill his void will not be an easy task.

One of the standout names to take over was Quique Cárcel, the current sporting director of Girona and a member of the City Football Group, which made him a natural candidate. However, Cárcel has decided to decline the English club's offer, opting to continue with his project at Girona. This decision has been recently confirmed, compelling Manchester City to keep searching for alternatives to cover this key position in their sporting structure.

Zubizarreta, Manchester City's Plan B

With Cárcel out of the picture, Manchester City is still evaluating possible substitutes. Among the names that have emerged as an option is Andoni Zubizarreta, who currently holds the same role at Porto and had previously replaced Begiristain at Barcelona. However, his recent arrival at the Portuguese club complicates his potential departure.

Manchester City now faces an important challenge: finding a new sporting director who can live up to the legacy left by Txiki Begiristain and maintain the level of success achieved in recent years.
