Pep Guardiola has opened the door to speculation about his future, and reports from England claim he has already decided on his departure date from Manchester City. According to the Daily Mail, the ‘citizen’ coach will leave the club in the summer of 2025, at the end of the upcoming season and his contract.
Guardiola, who arrived at the club in 2016, has 12 months left on his current contract and does not appear likely to renew, as stated by the British outlet. City will give Pep space to make a final decision about his future, and they want the coach with the most titles in the club’s history to renew his bond and continue leading their project.
The Beginning of the End
But the club’s top executives fear that this season may mark the end of the Guardiola era in Manchester. Despite City clarifying that there has been no formal communication from Pep, multiple sources within the club claim to be preparing for an exit in the next campaign, as explained by the Daily Mail.
Among the candidates to replace Guardiola if he decides to leave are, as mentioned in England, Míchel, following his spectacular season at Girona, Nagelsmann, Xabi Alonso, and even De Zerbi.”
