Pep Guardiola is expected to attend Manchester City’s next home game as a show of support, according to reporting from the UK Mirror. The reports add that Guardiola’s appearance is planned despite his no longer being in charge of the club.
The move follows Guardiola handing the Manchester City manager role over to Enzo Maresca this summer. City’s next home match is described as a Champions League fixture against Paris Saint-Germain, scheduled for October 14 at the Etihad Stadium. One outlet frames the planned attendance as a “shock return,” while other details focus on the timing and the club’s current situation under Maresca. Both sources present the expectation of Guardiola being present at the stadium rather than any change in coaching responsibilities.
No additional information is provided across the two reports about whether Guardiola’s attendance has any formal role beyond supporting the team.
