Ex-Man City and Leeds full-back Mills believes that Arteta would be the best successor for three reasons. Speaking to BetVictor, Mills said: “Mikel Arteta is the best man to replace Pep Guardiola at Manchester City, without a shadow of a doubt. He’s worked with Pep, he knows the way City play and he can come in with the same level of intensity as him.

“We know how intense Pep is and the pressure he puts on himself and his team to be the best every single day. Pep gets burnt out and you can understand why.

“I think it will be a concern. It’s like trying to replace Jurgen Klopp, Arsene Wenger or Sir Alex Ferguson. Those coaches have been so successful because they are so unique. It’s almost impossible to replicate that style of play and intensity.‌

“The way City play, the style, everything is down to Pep. And if you look at what happened to Barcelona after he left, those players started to leave the football club and they were never the same.

“The hierarchy at City have to be looking for a successor now and I’m sure they are. There are lots of coaches winning in the City Group for instance.

“It’s a concern for City but when you look at what they’ve done in the past, the senior figures they’ve brought in to manage the academy and recruitment, you have to put faith in them and hope that there is a good succession plan.”
