A significant issue regarding Pep Guardiola at Manchester City has been raised by a BBC pundit, which Hugo Viana will be required to resolve.

In the summer, Manchester City anticipates a significant transformation in their organisational structure. Txiki Begiristain was rumoured to be departing City at the conclusion of the season during the October international break.

Then, it was asserted that Hugo Viana would succeed Begiristain as the sporting director of the Manchester club. City has suffered its first four-match losing streak in recent weeks, which is unprecedented for a team under Pep Guardiola’s management.

A pundit has pointed out a potential issue that the Citizens may need to address by the time Viana formally begins his role at the Etihad Stadium in the summer, now that the November international break has commenced.

He stated, “In the highest echelon of football, it is imperative that teams avoid ageing in tandem, as the fall can be sudden.” “Manchester City’s appearance is shabby, but they also have an ageing core group.

” I selected the City 11 that I believe is the most effective, with all players being available and in good health, and an average age of 29.5 years. “This may appear to be flawless, but the average was significantly lowered by individuals such as Phil Foden and Erling Haaland.

” City’s squad is among the eldest in the Premier League. City boasts the joint-second smallest squad in the Premier League, with a total of 24 players. However, Transfermarkt indicates that the average squad age is 27.8, which is the highest among only three other clubs.
