Former Spain coach Luis Enrique is the first-choice of Manchester City when manager Pep Guardiola leaves.

That's according to El Chiringuito regular Javi de la Pena.

While there's no signs of Guardiola leaving at the end of the season, De la Pena is reporting should the Catalan do depart, City will bring in Enrique to maintain a playing consistency given his Barcelona background.

"If that happens, the first contact they have had has been with Luis Enrique, a coach who would follow Guardiola's line of continuation," he said.

Enrique is available after leaving the Spain job following this season's World Cup.
