(Left to right) Will Luis Enrique, Vincent Kompany, Enzo Maresca and Unai Emery be possible candidates to replace Pep Guardiola at Manchester City?
Pep Guardiola said last Friday Manchester City "must be prepared" to plan for his departure, as he would "not be here eternally".
The 54-year-old has redefined English football during his nine years in the Premier League, winning the title six times as well as the Champions League.
But there will come a day when the Spaniard calls it quits at City, a decision which will leave players, staff and supporters without the services of a man who will go down as one of the greatest managers in history.
No-one knows when Guardiola will step down and whether he will see out the 18 months left on his contract, but it is understood City have started the process of identifying candidates to replace him.
