Manchester City would allegedly consider moves for Mauricio Pochettino and Julian Nagelsmann if Pep Guardiola leaves the club in 2021.

Guardiola has enjoyed a successful period at the Etihad Stadium, winning two Premier League titles, one FA Cup and three EFL Cups since 2016.

However, the Spaniard has less than a year remaining on his current contract and City have not made the best start to the new season.

According to the Daily Mail, club officials would prefer Guardiola to make a decision regarding his plans for the future as soon as possible.

While the powers-that-be at the North-West outfit want the 49-year-old to remain in his current role, they are aware that work would be required to find a suitable replacement.

Pochettino has been out of work since leaving Tottenham Hotspur in November, while Nagelsmann is in the second year of a four-year contract at RB Leipzig.
