Pep Guardiola is on to the fifth Manchester United manager of his reign at Manchester City. Under normal circumstances, that would illustrate the difficulty of coaching in the same city and competing with him.
After all City had 14 managers and four caretakers during Alex Ferguson’s epic reign at Old Trafford. Now Ruben Amorim makes it five United managers, plus two caretakers, Michael Carrick and Ruud van Nistelrooy, since Guardiola arrived in 2016. As his new contract lasts until 2027, there is time for another.
