Pep Guardiola is reportedly set to leave Manchester City at the end of the Premier League season, a year before his contract expires in 2027, after an illustrious decade of service at the club.

The six-time title winner, 55, became the first manager in history to lead a club to four successive English top flight titles between 2020 and 2024 – taking six of the last eight titles available – and a domestic treble in the 2018/19 season.

But most memorable, perhaps, was lifting City’s first ever Champions League trophy when Rodri slammed home the winner against Inter Milan in the 2022/23 season to complete a famous continental treble.

Guardiola also achieved a 100-point season to lift the 2017/18 title, setting the record for the most wins in a league season (32) and most goals scored (106) – a feat that is yet to be repeated by his own or another club.

The news, reported by a number of national outlets, comes as the Spaniard refused to comment on whether he would be cutting his time short at the Etihad after defeating managerless Chelsea 1-0 at Wembley to lift a third FA Cup on Saturday.

His departure will reportedly be confirmed on the final day of the Premier League season this Sunday.

The former Barcelona and Bayern Munich manager departs as the most decorated manager in the Sky Blues’ history and one of the best to ever grace English football, winning a tremendous 20 honours since his arrival in 2016.

Pep Guardiola may yet earn a 21st by snatching the Premier League title away from Arsenal, who currently lead already-relegated Burnley, but must win their remaining two matches while hoping the Gunners drop points.

Former Chelsea head coach and assistant to Pep, Enzo Maresca, is rumoured to be lined up to replace the City legend from the 2026/27 season and lead the English giants into a new chapter.
