Man City defender Ake: I don't want to think about Pep doing a Klopp

Manchester City ace Nathan Ake has admitted he does not want to imagine a day when Pep Guardiola leaves the club.

The central defender, who also plays at left-back, has been in charge at the Etihad Stadium since 2016.

The club have won five Premier Leagues, four League Cups, three FA Cups, and one Champions League trophy in that time.

Asked about Jurgen Klopp leaving Liverpool when this season ends, Ake replied: "I don't want to even think about it [Guardiola doing similarly]. Obviously, it was a bit of a shock for everyone to see the news.

"Klopp's a very good manager and done so well at Liverpool. For the Premier League, he will be a big loss.

“But it didn't change anything for us here. We are just focused on ourselves."
