Pep Guardiola is set to leave Manchester City at the end of the 2025-26 season, according to reports from Sky Sports. The 55-year-old Catalan coach will step down after the final Premier League fixture against Aston Villa, bringing the curtain down on one of the most successful managerial stints in English football history.
Guardiola joined City in 2016 and went on to win six Premier League titles, two FA Cups, four League Cups and the Champions League during his decade at the club. Manchester City have not officially confirmed the news, with sources at the club insisting his contract runs until 2027, but preparations are understood to be well under way for life after Guardiola.
