Manchester City reportedly have an offer on the table for Fernandinho to take up a coaching role at the club after he retires from football.
According to journalist Jorge Nicola, the 36-year-old midfielder has been invited by Pep Guardiola to join the non-playing staff at City at the end of this season.
Fernandinho’s contract with the Premier League giants expires at the end of this season. However, despite reports that the midfielder will return to his homeland of Brazil, it looks like the 36-year-old will remain in Manchester.
The veteran captain has been a key player for City since arriving in 2013, and it looks like the midfielder will be hanging up his boots at the end of this season. And coaching could be in Fernandinho’s future.
The likes of Vincent Kompany and Patrick Vieira have all made successful leaps into coaching after retiring at City. And it appears that Fernandinho will be the next player to join this illustrious list.
Indeed, Fernandinho is a club legend at City, and the Brazilian will be a great addition to the coaching staff. Moreover, supporters on social media are excited about the possibility of the South American remaining at the club post-football.
