Pep Guardiola Reportedly Set to Leave Manchester City at End of the Season

A major report from the UK has revealed a shocking update regarding the future of Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola, who may be preparing to leave the club at the end of the current season — despite his contract running until the summer of 2027.

According to British outlet TeamTalk, sources inside Manchester City have suggested that Guardiola’s future with the Premier League champions is now “uncertain”, with growing speculation that the 2025–26 campaign could mark the end of his historic spell in charge of the club that now includes Egyptian star Omar Marmoush among its ranks.

The report adds that Guardiola has hinted on several occasions that this season might be his last at the Etihad Stadium, explaining that he has yet to make a final decision about whether to continue or to step away from the dugout.

Inside sources claim that there is a shared belief within Manchester City that Guardiola’s journey — which began in 2016 — may be approaching its natural conclusion. After nearly a decade of dominance and numerous domestic and European triumphs, some within the club believe it could be time to begin a new chapter.

During his tenure, Guardiola has transformed Manchester City into a powerhouse, winning multiple Premier League titles, FA Cups, and the long-awaited UEFA Champions League, achieving nearly everything possible in English football.

TeamTalk also reported that City officials see Pep’s departure as a logical step after years of unprecedented success and that the club would support his decision should he choose to leave.

Vincent Kompany Emerges as Potential Successor

Among the leading candidates to replace Guardiola is Vincent Kompany, the former Manchester City captain and current Bayern Munich head coach. Kompany’s deep connection to the club and his growing reputation as a tactician make him a natural successor.

Interestingly, Guardiola himself has previously praised Kompany’s managerial abilities, describing him as a future Manchester City manager — a statement that now seems more relevant than ever.

As the season unfolds, all eyes will be on Guardiola’s next move. Whether he chooses to extend his legacy or embark on a new challenge, his potential departure will mark the end of an era in Manchester City’s modern history.
