Pep Guardiola: Man City Preparing for Boss's Departure at End of Season Manchester City are preparing for Pep Guardiola’s potential exit after Sunday’s Premier League match against Aston Villa, with sources confirming the club is already working toward his anticipated departure at the end of the season. Despite Guardiola’s contract remaining valid for next season, internal discussions about his future have intensified, with staff and players reportedly aware of his likely departure following the final game of the campaign. The club is also considering ways to commemorate his iconic tenure, including the possibility of naming the newly expanded North Stand after the manager. Guardiola, who has led City to 17 major trophies—including six Premier League titles, the Champions League, three FA Cups, and five EFL Cups—has been a central figure in the club’s dominance since joining in 2016. His 10-year spell at Etihad Stadium has seen City become the only team to reach 100 points in a Premier League season (2017-18) and the first to win the English league title four consecutive seasons (2023-24). The club’s greatest boss, widely regarded as one of the greatest managers in football history, is also on the brink of a seventh Premier League title this season, having already secured the FA Cup and Carabao Cup. Speculation about Guardiola’s future has persisted for months, with the manager frequently addressing the topic during press conferences. When asked if he would still be at City next season, he repeatedly affirmed his commitment, stating, “I have a contract,” and “I am here.” However, his recent responses have carried a hint of resignation, such as when he dismissed the idea of the North Stand being named after him, saying, “No, no, no, no, no, no, I have no idea [about] that.#pep_guardiola #man_city #north_stand #enzo_maresca #aston_villa
