Kyle Walker has played alongside a significant number of players during his time at Manchester City.
Since joining City back in the 2017 summer transfer window, the defender has gone on to make 302 appearances for the club across all competitions.
Having been at the Etihad Stadium for such a long period of time, the 34-year-old has shared the training pitch and the dressing room with a lot of other City players.
Now though, the Englishman has made a claim about one of the other more experienced players in the City squad and what the future could hold for him.
Kyle Walker claims Kevin De Bruyne could become a top manager in the future
When asked in a recent episode of You’ll Never Beat Kyle Walker which of his City teammates he thinks can become top managers in the future, the right-back had this to say in response.
He said: “Kev [De Bruyne]. Automatically earns the respect from the lads.
“You know, he knows the game of football. He sees things that we don’t really see or quick enough to see before we get tackled.
“I think he, you know, he’s got a good knowledge of football as well.”
De Bruyne has had a wonderful playing career
Walker isn’t the only person at City to claim that the Belgian could go down the coaching route, as Pep Guardiola said to TNT Sports back in January that De Bruyne could go on to become a manager in the future.
In terms of his playing career, after scoring 20 goals and providing 37 assists in 73 games for Wolfsburg, the midfielder secured his £54m move to City back in 2015.
Since then, the 33-year-old has gone on to score 103 goals, deliver 171 assists and win a plethora of trophies with the Blues.
Given the top-level experience he has and the knowledge of the game as Walker mentioned, all it could come down to is whether or not De Bruyne feels like he wants to become a manager in the future.
