Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola could end his stay at the Etihad Stadium after the end of the 2024/25 season.
According to a report from The Daily, Pep Guardiola could part ways with Manchester City after the end of next season. The Spanish tactician has confirmed that he will continue to lead the team for another year. But the former Barcelona manager might not be on their bench for much longer.
Guardiola made quite a name for himself as a manager, dominating European football with Barcelona and Bayern Munich before joining Manchester City in 2016. He had already won everything there was to win and in search of a new challenge, he took charge of the Premier League club eight years back.
The 53-year-old has transformed the club into a winning machine. Manchester City have played some exceptional football under the Spanish manager, and it has helped them win six Premier League titles in seven years. They have just created history by winning the league for four years in a row.
Guardiola could leave Manchester City next year
Last season, Guardiola led them to the treble and finally ended their wait for their first UEFA Champions League title. While he is all set to continue for another 12 months, his long-term future has been uncertain for some time.
The 53-year-old manager’s contract with Manchester City runs out in the summer of 2025. The Manchester-based club want to extend the stay of their most successful manager and have made it known to him that there is an offer on the table.
While the club’s hierarchy is keen on having him at their disposal for years to come, they are not pushing hard for a renewal. They will give Guardiola space to make a final decision on his future.
The former Barcelona manager is preparing for his ninth season in charge. He is busy planning for the upcoming transfer window and wants to ensure they make the necessary changes to continue dominating world football. However, the report states that this could be his final season in charge. He could leave the club when his contract runs out in the summer of 2025.
