Pep Guardiola endorsed Mikel Artest to succeed him as the next manager of Manchester City.

"I'm pretty sure [he'll succeed me]. He will have success. Sooner or later it's going to happen (Arteta becoming a manager). He's a young, young manager. He has experience already, handling big players and big teams. He's got an incredible work ethic. He has a special talent to analyse what happens and to find solutions," said Guardiola of the former Everton and Arsenal midfielder.

Guardiola added that he wants to coach City for at least two more seasons, though there were rumors linking him to Juventus over the summer.
