J.Guardiola: M.Arteta taps my successor.

"Man City" legend Josep Guardiola positively assessed the future prospects of his assistant Mikel Arteta. According to the Catalan, this specialist could eventually take his own place in the future.

"Sooner or later it will happen and he will become a head coach. I am confident enough that Mikel will be appointed as my successor and will start a successful career," said J. Guardiola.

"Arteta is a young specialist, but he has already gained experience working with excellent players in strong teams. Mikel is characterized by impeccable work ethic and has a special talent for analyzing future events and finding solutions for them," said J. Guardiola.

"In the past, he played safely and therefore is able to 'read' situations."
