Man City manager Pep Guardiola is set ‘to leave’ Man City next summer as club draws up elite four-man shortlist
Next summer Pep Guardiola is scheduled to LEAVE Manchester City; the team has already compiled an amazing four-man shortlist.
Man City was motivated by Guardiola to earn their fourth straight Premier League crown this season.
Since returning to the Etihad in 2016, he boasts an amazing six league medals.
But The Daily Mail claims that Guardiola is poised to call quits on his Man City managing career at the conclusion of next season.
Based on reports, the Spaniard has just 12 months left on his present contract; after his contract expires, he will move away.
Having guided Man City to 15 significant trophies, including a maiden Champions League victory, Man City will allow Guardiola time to make a definitive choice on his future and want him to continue in command.
The club’s leadership worries that his ninth year will mark the end of his remarkable run although they underline that he has not formally indicated either way.
Four managers ahead of their assigned replacement for the 53-year-old are under close attention by club chiefs.
According to the paper, Girona’s Michel, Julian Nagelsmann, Xabi Alonso, and Roberto Dezerbi are all under consideration to take Guardiola’s position in the summer of 2025.
Contracted until 2026, Nagelsmann, who will be Germany’s manager at Euro 2024, has past managing Bayern Munich expertise.
Following his amazing performance at Bayer Leverkusener, Alonso—who rejected down the opportunity to succeed Jurgen Klopp at Liverpool—is well regarded.
And Guardiola personally respects De Zerbi, who is without a club since leaving Brighton.
