Pep Guardiola reveals which Man City star could be a future captain 🔵👑

Manchester City, according to Pep Guardiola, possess a leader who has the potential to serve as the club’s commander in the future.

Manchester City’s current captain is Bernardo Silva.

Nevertheless, Bernardo’s contract with Manchester City is set to expire in 2026. Consequently, it is feasible that he relinquishes the captaincy to a member of his team the following year.

Although a decision regarding the next commander of City has not yet been made, Pep Guardiola has identified a candidate who may be suitable for the position someday.

Pep Guardiola believes that Erling Haaland has the potential to become the commander of Manchester City in the future.

Manchester City’s leadership group comprises Bernardo, Ruben Dias, Rodri, and Erling Haaland.

In addition to the former AS Monaco attacker, the other three players have been commended for their leadership abilities. Dias is one of them, according to Rico Lewis, who asserts that, “He leads by example.”

Dias is of the opinion that Rodri’s ability to lead from the front is demonstrated by his willingness to step up for Manchester City during challenging circumstances.

Pep Guardiola asserted that Haaland is assuming a leadership role and suggested that he may one day serve as Manchester City’s captain.

Guardiola stated, as reported by BeanymanSports, “It is a matter of maturity and time; he is a bit older, despite his youth.”

“He signed a contract for many years here and is one of the captains, which is why he is naturally inclined to…” Typically, your figure in the locker room is the one who is prevailing on the field, and it occurred in a natural manner.

Journalist Jack Gaughan enquired, “Was the contract one of the factors that influenced your decision to select him for that group?” Because of his longevity and his potential to assume the role of commander in the future.

“Yes.”

It is more probable that Erling Haaland’s colleague will assume the role of captaining Manchester City in the future.
In the Manchester Derby, Haaland scored a brilliant brace, and Guardiola claimed that he is presently at his best. He also referred to him as a “special player.”

Nevertheless, Manchester City prioritised the extension of Dias’ contract until 2029, as he has the potential to become the team’s next captain.

The 28-year-old has been a member of City since 2020 and is currently a senior member of their dressing room.
