Guardiola to leave Manchester City after decade in charge – reports

Pep Guardiola will leave Manchester City after a decade in charge, according to media reports, bringing to a close one of the most successful spells in Premier League history, with former Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca expected to replace him.

 

The 55-year-old will ⁠reportedly announce his departure shortly after City’s final game of the season against Aston Villa at the Etihad Stadium, capping a campaign that included winning both the League Cup and the FA Cup trophies.

 

Saturday’s FA Cup victory over Chelsea secured Guardiola his 20th trophy ⁠with the club.

 

Maresca, who left Chelsea four months ago, has been rumoured for months to be the top contender for the Spaniard’s ⁠job. Guardiola’s contract at City is set to expire in June 2027.

 

Guardiola shrugged off questions about ⁠his future after the FA Cup final. When asked about the rumours by ⁠TNT Sports, Guardiola replied "What rumours?" and then ended the interview, saying "Have a lovely evening."
