Guardiola has dropped plenty of hints about where life will take him after his City contract expires in 2027 and his pursuit of perfection has led his side into mediocrity over the past year.
After City's Champions League defeat to Real Madrid in February, he said his "tactics don't work like they used to” in what is a telling sign that the Spaniard may leave the side in the coming years.
After league losses to Brighton and Tottenham, City already look like unlikely title candidates and speaking in association with Grosvenor Casino, Hamann spoke with GOAL about how he believes Guardiola may left lift the title again.
“They’ve changed in the last couple of years, they’ve brought quite a few players in and there’s some players who’ve been there for a few years.
“You need to galvanise them and light a fire within them, the team, the fans. He’s been there such a long time and I’m just not sure he’s still got it in him.
“I said in the summer I’d be surprised if he wins another big title. I don’t think he will. I don’t think he wins the Premier League or the Champions League. There’s always a chance to win five or six games and win a League Cup or an FA Cup. The big two trophies, I can’t see him winning.
“I think his contract was extended last year just to smooth things down, to keep people quiet, probably to shut people up who said, ‘It’s about time for him to go’. I don’t think they will sack him, but I’d be surprised if he’s still there in two years’ time.”
City face Manchester United this weekend in what should be an intense derby. Three points are imperative for Guardiola if he wants to stay in the title race and prove the likes of Hamann wrong.
