Pep Guardiola’s wife reportedly has been investigating schools in Manchester

Manchester City fans looking for concrete proof that Pep Guardiola will be taking over their club next year may finally have some. Guardiola’s wife was reportedly spotted in Manchester checking out schools along with the wife of City’s director of football Txiki Begiristain.

The Manchester City News reports that the two women received a VIP tour at St. Bede’s Academy in Manchester. If true, this represents the first concrete sign that Manchester will indeed be Guardiola’s destination after leaving Bayern Munich.

There’s no other reason that Guardiola’s wife would be investigating schools in the Manchester area. It’s not as if the family has any connection to the region that would cause them to school their children there if Guardiola wasn’t planning on managing City.

Manchester United fans may want to believe that they still have a shot with Guardiola, but the tour of St. Bede’s in particular, seems to rule them out. It’s that school in particular that City uses to educate their academy products.

Manchester City’s presence in the title race seemingly doesn’t make any difference in regards to current manager Manuel Pellegrini’s job security. He could potentially win the Premier League this season and still find himself sacked in favor of Guardiola. That speaks to the immense star power of the current Bayern manager.

If Guardiola does select Manchester City, it will end months of speculation on his future. He’s been rumored with almost every job in the world, and quite a few in the Premier League. He’s been prominently linked with City, Chelsea, Manchester United and Chelsea over the past several months.

Still, it’s City that is thought to be in the driver’s seat for Guardiola given their financial position and current talent. It’s even been speculated that some of their transfer activity in January can partially be attributed to Guardiola’s input.

She seems to be making the family preparations to facilitate the big managerial move from Bayern Munich to the Premier League. Manchester City fans may now rejoice. The rest of the Premier League can begin to mourn.
