"Sooner or later he will be manager for City" - Pep Guardiola claims former Manchester City star is destined to manage the Cityzens

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola tipped former player of the club Vincent Kompany to become the manager of the Cityzens in the near future.

Guardiola has been left impressed with Kompany's accolades. He recently said (via Manchester Evening News):

"I am impressed with the consistency, Championship is difficult for the amount of games. The consistency so far, it is unbelievable. They are close to promotion again to the Premier League next season and I am delighted for him personally for his success at Burnley. I think all of us as fans will be happy for him to be back."

"He will be back sooner or later, so I think his destiny is to become a manager of Man City it is written in the stars. It is going to happen I don't know when but it will. Of course it is the quarter finals of the FA Cup it is an incredible chance to reach the semi finals at Wembley and we will try to compete against Vini and his team."

Guardiola further stated that it was only a matter of time before Kompany became Manchester City's manager. The Spaniard said:

"I said sooner or later he will be manager for City, when I don't know but I am pretty sure. No [I have not spoken to him about it]. It is my feeling, maybe I am wrong."

"His work ethic, knowledge of the game, a lot of respect, experience doing what he has done is so difficult and he is doing it really, really well. He knows the club, the environment, our fans and what our people need. The destiny is there."
