Apart from being a quality player, he is highly regarded for his footballing intelligence, and there is no doubt that he could be an impressive coach for the club in the future. It will be interesting to see if the German international is willing to return to Manchester City in a coaching capacity in the future.
They are one of the biggest clubs in the world, and to be involved with them could be an exciting opportunity for the player. He will want to work with top-class players and help build a team capable of winning major trophies every season.
The midfielder is in the twilight stages of his career, and he will look to enjoy the final few years of his playing career before making a switch. Joining one of the biggest clubs in the world in a coaching capacity would be ideal for him. Meanwhile, he knows the club well, and bringing him back to the club would be ideal for Manchester City as well.
Gundogan could be very useful
They are looking to establish a project capable of dominating English football and European football in the coming seasons, and they need as much help as they can get. Integrating top-quality players like Gündogan into their project, even after their playing careers, could prove to be a smart move. Several top-class players have made defining contributions at football clubs even after their playing careers, and there is no doubt that the German international could make a big difference as well. It will be interesting to see what he decides in the coming seasons.
