Manchester City have already won the Carabao Cup for a second successive campaign.
Pep Guardiola’s side are currently top of the Premier League and also in the quarter-final of both the FA Cup and Champions League.
The Spaniard spent four years as Barcelona manager before three seasons at Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich.
Sky Sports presenter Jeff Stelling suggested to Morrison if City were to win every trophy, whether Guardiola would walk away three years into his tenure at the Etihad.
It [leaving] will cross his mind without a shadow of a doubt because he’s done what he’s set out to do went there
“Let’s say they did win all four trophies, what would Pep Guardiola do after that?” Stelling said on Soccer Saturday.
“He could never hope to emulate that could he? And he’s got a reputation of moving on after winning things.
“Do you think it will cross his mind?”
Morrison does not think Manchester City will win the quadruple but if they did, he can see Guardiola looking for a project elsewhere.
“What can he do? He’d have the freedom of the city,” Morrison said.
“It [leaving] will cross his mind without a shadow of a doubt because he’s done what he’s set out to do went there.
“Win all four and win the Champions League with Man City.
“I think it might be a step too far to go and win the Champions League this season.

“I think there is a possibility they could do it, but I do believe Juventus and Barcelona, they were two of my favourites at the beginning.
“I believe they’ll win the FA Cup, I do believe they’ll win the Premier League again and obviously they’ve won the Carabao Cup.
“That is a good question Jeff, I literally don’t know.
“But if he does win all four, he might say it’s time to move on and do it at another football club.”
