Deutscher Meister mit Dortmund, fünfmal Premier-League-Sieger, den Champions-League-Titel: In seiner Karriere hat Man-City-Star Ilkay Gündogan viele Trophäen gesammelt.
Unter Trainer Pep Guardiola (54) bringt der 34-Jährige immer noch Top-Leistung. Sein Vertrag verlängerte sich aufgrund seiner vielen Einsätze zuletzt automatisch bis 2026. Diese Saison absolvierte er 47 Pflichtspiele für Manchester City (34-mal in der Startelf).
„Ich habe nun noch ein Jahr länger Vertrag und bin darüber glücklich. Nicht nur, weil ich im fortgeschrittenen Alter bin, wo jedes Jahr mehr Vertragslaufzeit schön ist. Sondern, weil ich unfassbar gerne bei City bin“, sagte der Ex-Nationalspieler gegenüber SPORT BILD.
[–>Auf die Frage, ob er auf jeden Fall weiter Fußball spielen und nicht direkt Co-Trainer von Pep Guardiola werden wolle, antwortete der Mittelfeld-Star: „Ehrlich gesagt, will ich noch mehrere Jahre Fußball spielen: Weil ich mich absolut bereit dafür fühle, sehr fit bin, auf meinen Körper achte. Ich spüre, dass mir Fußball extrem viel Spaß macht: nicht nur ein weiteres Jahr, sondern mindestens zwei Jahre, vielleicht sogar drei oder vier Jahre.“
Aber: Gündogan denkt laut eigener Aussage auch darüber nach, „was danach kommt“. Er: „Vor diesen Gedanken habe ich aber keine Angst, eher eine gewisse Vorfreude. Aber noch macht mein Körper mit, und Pep sagt nicht zu mir: ,Hey, du fällst vom Leistungsniveau ab …‘
Ter Stegen verrät: So lief mein Geheim-Treffen mit Guardiola
Gündogan: „Co-Trainer von Pep wäre extrem reizvoll“
Nach einer Zusammenarbeit habe Gündogan seinen Coach Pep Guardiola nicht gefragt. Aber: „Etwas Besseres als einen Einstieg als Assistent von Pep gibt es wahrscheinlich nicht: Das haben die Beispiele in den letzten Jahren gezeigt, das kann den Weg für eine Trainerkarriere ebnen. Co-Trainer von Pep zu sein wäre extrem reizvoll für mich.“
[–>Einen ersten Schritt in die Richtung hat der 34-Jährige bereits getan – mit einem Trainerschein. „Ich habe die B-Lizenz. Meine letzte Info war, dass man, wenn man die A-Lizenz anfangen möchte, schon irgendwo – als Assistent oder im Jugendbereich – als Trainer tätig sein muss. Das geht aktuell also noch nicht.“

Timberwolves’ Nickeil Alexander-Walker finds right frame of mind at perfect time
MINNEAPOLIS — It seems so counterintuitive. To do the thing you’re trying desperately to do, you must loosen your grip.Let go, they say. Care less. If only it were that easy.For more than a week, Nickeil Alexander-Walker had been toying with different tactics to accomplish this mental release. The ball simply wouldn’t fall. He clanked 3-pointers from the right wing. Corner treys swirled in and out. He thought about luck turning in his favor. It didn’t. He rehearsed the shots he’d made earlier that morning. That didn’t help, either.AdvertisementFinally, before Thursday night’s Minnesota Timberwolves victory against the Golden State Warriors in Game 2 of the Western Conference semifinals, Alexander-Walker reframed his approach. He recalled the mindset that earned him his pivotal bench role in the first place: rebounding, defending and playing with pace. Prioritize those facets of the game, he […]

This is a question on many of your minds.So, what precisely will the New York Rangers do? Here are the details: The Rangers have been awarded the 12th pick in the 2025 NHL Draft.

Edmundo indica time que pode renascer no futebol brasileiro
Edmundo em registro durante entrevista para podcast (Reprodução - YouTube) Edmundo está confiante de que o Vasco possa atingir um cenário de remontada agora sob o comando do recém-chegado Fernando Diniz. Depois de algumas semanas da demissão do técnico Fábio Carille, o time carioca acertou a contratação do novo comandante, que já deve estrear neste final de semana. Em live feita nesta sexta-feira (09), o ex-jogador alfinetou a diretoria, afirmando que o anúncio do novo técnico encobriu o vexame do time na Copa Sul-Americana, diante do Puerto Cabello, sendo uma ‘jogada’ para acalmar os ânimos. PUBLICIDADE PUBLICIDADE “Acho que agora a tendência é que o Vasco cresça. O Diniz é um excelente técnico, que consegue extrair do atleta um pouco mais do que ele poderia dar”, iniciou Edmundo. “É bem possível que ele faça um excelente trabalho à frente do […]
Felipe Melo crava técnico que fará história no Brasil: “Vejo potencial”
Felipe Melo durante o Seleção Sportv - Divulgação A lua de mel entre Filipe Luís e torcedores do Flamengo parece não ser mais a mesma. A derrota para o Cruzeiro e o empate com o Central Córdoba, na Libertadores, resultaram em duras críticas ao treinador rubro-negro. Para Felipe Melo, é preciso dosar os elogios e também as críticas nas análises. Em sua avaliação, o ex-lateral tem tudo para ter uma carreira brilhante na função como técnico, mas ainda passa por um processo de maturação onde acertos e erros irão acontecer. Por isso, se faz necessário ter muita cautela. PUBLICIDADE PUBLICIDADE “Essa oscilação faz parte do processo. Quando as pessoas pediam Filipe Luís na seleção, eu falava para ter calma e fui criticado. Tem que dar tempo ao tempo. É jovem, vejo potencial no Filipe para abrir muitas portas para os […]
