Pep Guardiola, who arrived at the club eight years ago, has 12 months remaining on his contract, which sources suggest will be his last at the Etihad Stadium.
Manchester City is allowing Guardiola the space to make his final decision regarding his future. They hope the most successful manager in their history, who has secured 15 major trophies including the club’s first Champions League title, will extend his stay.
However, the club's hierarchy fears that Guardiola’s ninth year will mark the end of his tenure. Although City emphasizes that there has been no official indication from the 52-year-old, multiple sources within the industry and the club have discussed the likelihood of his departure in recent months.
This news will boost City's rivals, who have witnessed Guardiola guide the team to six Premier League titles in seven years and become the first manager to win four consecutive titles.
