Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola plans to leave the all-conquering Premier League side in the summer of 2025, according to reports from ESPN and The Guardian.

Guardiola has a contract at City until the summer of 2025 which would take his time at the Etihad Stadium to nine years. [ TRANSFER NEWS: Arsenal | Liverpool | Chelsea | Tottenham | Man City | Man United ] Per the report from the Guardian, Guardiola is now thinking about a future in international management (USMNT manager for the 2026 World Cup, anyone?), as previously he had thought about moving to Italy to try and win the league title in Europe’s top four leagues.

This news coming off the back of Manchester City’s historic treble win is a bit of a buzzkill for City’s fans but it is kind of expected.

Guardiola was reportedly hesitant about extending his previous contract at City and only planned to stay for three years initially.
