​Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero has said that he would like to be coached by Bayern Munich manager Pep Guardiola, with speculation buzzing around Guardiola, who is reportedly set to take over at the Etihad at the end of the season.





The Argentine striker, who looks set to miss about a month of action after picking up a hamstring injury while on international duty at the end of last week, was quoted by ​NBC as saying: “I would like to be coached by him in the future because he is a great coach, but today I’m so happy with Manuel Pellegrini.





“It has been talked about a lot. I don’t know him, but he’s a great manager and it’s wonderful to have the best managers train you. I’m very good with Manuel Pellegrini, we talk a lot. I’m happy in the team and with him, but the club will be the one who chooses who comes in.”





Aguero was just beginning to hit his stride after his slow start to the campaign, scoring five times against Newcastle in an extraordinary thumping before the international break, and his injury added to David Silva's knock will give Pellegrini some headaches going forward after his side lost two of their last three Premier League games.





Mundo Deportivo in Spain report that Guardiola has verbally agreed to take over at the Etihad after conversations with City director of football Txiki Begiristain, in a deal which could have wide-reaching implications.





With Guardiola potentially leaving the Bayern position open and Pellegrini on the market, the move could spark a scramble of top managers switching jobs around Europe's biggest clubs this summer.





Bayern chief executive Karl-Heinz Rummenigge recently told Bild : "I am optimistic about Pep's renewal. We have a great offer on the table, which you cannot just shove aside. We have a first-class team, a fantastic club, a great stadium and a wonderful city to offer."
