'There will be plenty wanting to work for him'

Our chief football writer Phil McNulty has been taking your questions.

Tom asked: Who could be Pep Guardiola's new number two? Could it be Ilkay Gundogan?

Phil answered: Well he knows Ilkay Gundogan well enough, but with the departures of long-time ally Juanma Lillo, as well as Carlos Vicens and Inigo Dominguez, it is clear that Pep Guardiola is looking for fresh voices and new ideas after a relatively disappointing season.

I suspect he will be scouring worldwide - and do not forget the City Football Group will be well aware of what coaches fit in with Guardiola's philosophy, as well as who he feels he can work with.

There will be plenty wanting to work for him. Look what it has done for Mikel Arteta at Arsenal and Enzo Maresca at Chelsea.
