According to an exclusive report by the “Daily Mail”, Pep Guardiola’s legendary tenure at Manchester City is coming to an end. The Spanish manager is set to depart the Etihad Stadium at the conclusion of the current season, regardless of the outcome of the final Premier League match against Aston Villa.
Although Guardiola’s contract runs until the summer of 2027—and despite his recent public claims of staying—the report asserts that he has already informed the board of his decision to step down after ten historic years in Manchester.
Enzo Maresca Tipped as Successor
In a move to secure the club’s future, City’s management has reportedly informed major sponsors of Guardiola’s imminent exit. Furthermore, the club has reached a full agreement with Enzo Maresca to take over the hot seat. The Italian coach is expected to sign a contract through June 2028 in the coming days.
A Final Farewell at the Etihad
Guardiola is expected to make an official announcement this week to ensure a grand farewell during the Aston Villa clash. Having already secured the Carabao Cup and FA Cup double this season, Pep aims for one last miracle to clinch the Premier League title and bring his trophy tally at the club to 21.
