Former Liverpool assistant coach Pep Lijnders has supposedly emerged as a candidate to join Manchester City's coaching staff under Pep Guardiola this summer, alongside Kolo Toure.

Guardiola is set to lose Juanma Lillo, Inigo Dominguez and Carlos Vicens and therefore a new appointment will be required.

Lijnders has been without a job since he was fired by Red Bull Salzburg at the end of 2024, and Fabrizio Romano says he is under consideration.

Toure, who played for both Manchester City and Liverpool during his career, has moved into coaching since he retired.
