Pep Guardiola is heading into the biggest summer of his managerial career, with a plan to completely reshape Manchester City's playing squad.
He always knew City would allow him the chance to build a team, to bring in huge signings and to create a brand of football that could revolutionise the Premier League.
But he never expected the task to be quite this big.
At the end of this season, he will spend the summer months putting together a side that really can push City to a level where they can compete with elite clubs chasing UEFA Champions League glory.
