Gundogan spent a season at the legendary manager’s former club, Barcelona, before re-joining City last summer.
As the central midfielder approaches the twilight of his career, Gundogan has set his sights on a coaching role with the Premier League side.
"I haven't asked him, but there's probably nothing better than starting out as Pep's assistant. The examples of the last few years have shown that it can pave the way for a coaching career. Being Pep's assistant coach would be extremely appealing to me," Gundogan told SportBild.
