Guardiola, who signed Antoine Semenyo from Bournemouth in January, has been chasing a seventh league crown since taking charge at the Etihad and has continued to keep City among England’s elite.
Will Pep Guardiola leave Manchester City?
According to The Standard, the 55-year-old is expected to walk away after spending a decade with the Sky Blues in Manchester.
An official statement could reportedly arrive on Sunday, May 24, when City host Aston Villa in their final match of the campaign.
Guardiola has guided the club to 20 titles, including four consecutive league titles and famously delivered their first-ever UEFA Champions League trophy in 2023.
His possible departure could reshape the managerial landscape this summer, especially with several major clubs already making changes in the dugout.
Meanwhile, Arsenal strengthened their title hopes after edging Burnley 1-0, piling pressure on Guardiola’s side heading into the closing stages of the season.

The Ghana forward said that he was personally contacted and welcomed to the Etihad Stadium, with his new manager praising his qualities and explaining how he could fit into the team’s structures.
