Who succeeds Guardiola at Man City?

Contracted through to 2025, there's no immediate sign of Pep Guardiola leaving Manchester City.
Yet with Roberto De Zerbi taking his Brighton &amp; Hove Albion side to the Etihad this weekend, he could outlines his credentials to succeed the Spaniard at City with Guardiola a known admirer.
Adam Levethal is joined by The Athletic's Italian and German football correspondents James Horncastle and Raphael Honigstein, with Man City writer Sam Lee also dropping in to assess Guardiola's impact on the Premier League and European Football before assessing the candidates who could be viewed as Guardiola successors.
