The impending arrival of Pep Guardiola is making defender Aleksandar Kolarov reconsider his future at Manchester City, according to reports from the Manchester Evening News.

Kolarov is widely expected to leave the Etihad Stadium this summer as it was believed that City would be pursuing a new left-back for incoming boss Guardiola.

However, it has been revealed that Serbia international Kolarov is now reconsidering his desire to leave City following the announcement that Guardiola will be arriving at the club as manager next season, as he wants to work with the Spaniard.

Guardiola is renowned as the best manager in world football and Kolarov is interested in turning his hand to coaching following his playing career and sees the chance to learn from the former Barcelona and current Bayern Munich boss as too good to turn down.
