Pep Guardiola is '100%' certain to join City?

Pep Guardiola is reportedly ready to become Manchester City's manager next season.

The former Barcelona boss admitted that he was ready for a return to football after a year's sabbatical.

The Sun quotes the 41-year-old as saying: "I will return next season but it would show a lack of respect to talk about any team that has a coach."

The same newspaper claims that a respected Spanish source told them: "It's 100% certain that Guardiola is going to City this summer.

"And when I say 100%, I don't mean 99%. I mean 100% certain."

Guardiola has also been linked with moves to Manchester United and Chelsea.

It is thought that he will become Britain's highest-paid manager, earning around £10m per year after tax.
