Juanma Lillo is in temporary charge as Guardiola recuperates from back surgery in Barcelona
Lillo, who rejoined the treble winners in the summer after a spell managing Al Sadd in Qatar, confirmed that Guardiola would pick City’s team against Sheffield United and be in open communication with his coaching staff during the game.
Guardiola has at least handed pre-match team talk duties to his number two but, even in that area, will pass on instructions for Lillo. “We won’t do a video conference because he doesn’t want it. He wants face-to-face and is within the messages that are relayed. Lillo, 57, was appointed to replace Mikel Arteta as Guardiola’s assistant in 2020 but left to manage in Qatar last season.
