Is Pep Guardiola leaving Man City?

Nothing has yet been confirmed but reports suggest Pep Guardiola will depart Manchester City after the 2024/25 season.

It was reported by the Daily Mail on May 26, 2024, that Guardiola is ‘set to leave’ the Etihad Stadium at the end of his current contract which expires in 2025.

It’s said City would love for him to stay but ‘have fear’ his ninth season will be his last.

When will Guardiola make a decision on leaving City?

The latest reports suggest City want Guardiola to have made a decision by Christmas, which isn’t as far away as it sounds.

There is still hope he could extend his contract, but it’s stated he is leaning towards leaving the club following the conclusion of the newly expanded FIFA Club World Cup in 2025.

It’s not yet clear who will replace Guardiola if he does depart – but the club’s decision-makers are no doubt considering options in case the worst does come to pass.

It’s reported Guardiola himself admires Roberto De Zerbi, while Girona boss Michel has impressed massively in La Liga this season.

Xabi Alonso is bound to be a fan favourite after his success at Bayer Leverkusen and Guardiola has often stated Vincent Kompany will manage the club one day.
