According to The Telegraph journalist Jason Burt, via Sports Illustrated, Manchester City are ‘closely monitoring’ RB Leipzig manager Julian Nagelsmann as a direct successor to Pep Guardiola, with many supporters pleading for such an appointment.
Nagelsmann, who has guided Leipzig through successive Champions League qualification campaigns, reaching the semi-finals last season, is now being tipped as a potential heir to Guardiola with City keeping tabs.
City defender Angelino has thrived under the coach at Leipzig, scoring a brace for the Germans in their opening Champions League group stage win over Istanbul Basaksehir.
With the manager now linked with a potential job at the Etihad Stadium, many Sky Blues have voiced their approval over his potential appointment, with some claiming he is the ‘only candidate‘ and ‘best replacement’ for Guardiola.
City fans want Nagelsmann
The only right candidate if Pep leaves
