According to an update from Sports Journalist Pol Ballus, Man City are set to make an ‘official‘ announcement as Pep Guardiola looks to appoint Juanma Lillo as his new assistant coach in the coming days.
Lillo, who recently guided Chinese outfit Qingdao Huanghai to Super League promotion, now looks likely to sign with the Sky Blues until 2021 as Mikel Arteta’s replacement in the assistant managerial role.
Arteta left for Arsenal back in late December to succeed previous Gunners boss Unai Emery, with Lillo now stepping in as Guardiola’s assistant in time for the remainder of the 2019/2020 season.
