From Jurgen Klopp to Pep Guardiola! Ex-Liverpool assistant considered for Man City job while Kolo Toure also in line to join backroom staff

FIFA Club World Cup

Manchester City

Wydad Casablanca

<p>Former Liverpool assistant manager Lijnders is wanted by City as Pep Guardiola looks to overhaul his coaching team. Carlos Vicens, Juanma Lillo and Inigo Dominguez have all left the Etihad Stadium recently and <a href="https://www.thetimes.com/sport/football/article/manchester-city-pepijn-lijnders-kolo-toure-vqwk63m5w?t=1748547291197" target="_blank"><em>The Times</em></a> claim Jurgen Klopp's old right-hand man is wanted by their old rivals.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Lijnders left Anfield at the same time as Klopp to take the Salzburg job, but he was dismissed from his post in late 2024 and has been on gardening leave ever since. He was a key part of Klopp's backroom staff as the Reds claimed Champions League and Premier League trophies.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>City are also considering promoting Toure, who had a spell at Liverpool as a player, to the senior coaching team. The former Ivory Coast defender has been coaching City's academy sides and previously had a short stint as Wigan manager, winning none of his nine games in charge.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>There should be plenty of movement on City's side as Guardiola tries to get his coaching staff in line for the Club World Cup, which kicks off next month.</p>
