By grvadmin

Having long been in the offing since his decision not to renew at Bayern Munich at the end of his contract, Pep Guardiola last week finally announced the next chapter in his already impressive managerial career. We all knew the former Barcelona coach was England-bound, after he stated his interest in making the move across the Channel back in December, but with nothing concrete on paper, it was difficult to speculate the actual permutations of his move to these shores. However, we now know for certain that the Spaniard will take over the reigns from Manuel Pellegrini at Manchester City. What could change at the Etihad under Pep?

Here then, are five potential targets who Guardiola could potentially be looking at bringing to the Etihad this summer.
