Pep Guardiola will certainly become Manchester City manager in the summer according to Sky Germany.

The Spanish tactician has already announced his departure from German giants Bayern Munich at the end of the season and his next move will be to replace Manuel Pellegrini at the Etihad Stadium.

Regarding Guardiola's mooted move to Manchester, Sky Germany correspondent Uli Koehler told Sky Sports News HQ that the former Barcelona man would indeed be taking the reins of the 2012 and 2014 Premier League champions.

"We know 100 per cent that he will definitely join Manchester City next year and it make sense," said Koehler.

"His old friends Ferran Soriano (City chief executive officer) and Txiki Begiristain (City director of football) are there and I think Manchester City hired them only to get Pep Guardiola one day and that day will come in the summer.

"Our sources say he will join Manchester City next year (season)."

Koehler added: "He wants to show everybody that Pep Guardiola football works in Barcelona, it works in Munich and it will work at Manchester City.

"He is so ambitious about his game of football, his plan of how to play football. He wants to prove it works in the Premier League."
