There are talks that Pep Guardiola can leave Manchester City after this season.
The British Times reported on the 12th (Korea time) 'Guardiola, will we say goodbye to Manchester City after this season?Reporting an article titled 'No final decision has yet been made, some sources believe Guardiola will seriously consider leaving Manchester City this summer after a decade of unprecedented success.
This is shocking news. Guardiola's future has been a hot topic since last season. Since the end of the season, the prediction that he will leave Manchester City at the end of the 2024-2025 season has already prevailed there. The British Daily Mail reported in May that Guardiola wants to stay at Manchester City, but is likely to say goodbye to the club after next season.
Signs of change are also being detected within the club. The media is concerned that Guardiola's ninth season could soon be the time to say goodbye. While no official position has yet been communicated by the manager himself, insiders have already said the club is preparing a 'separation scenario', it added.
There were also rumors that Guardiola would be appointed to the Brazil and England national teams, but Guardiola signed a contract with the club as he fell into the worst crisis since entering Manchester City. At the time, Manchester City signed a new two-year contract with Manchester City on its official website. Guardiola's new contract means he will spend more than 10 years as manager of Manchester City."
One of the reasons Guardiola tried to leave Manchester City was his tired mind and body. Even after renewing his contract with Manchester City, Guardiola said "I will stop after this stage at Manchester City. That's for sure. It is a matter that has been decided with great certainty. I don't know how long I'll be resting. It could be 1 to 5 years, or 10 or 15 years. But I will leave when this contract at Man City is over. I need time to focus on myself and my body. What I'm saying is that when my time here is over, it might be in a year or six, but then I'm going to take a break. It's not retirement, but I should definitely rest" he once said.
It is difficult to imagine Manchester City and the Premier League without Guardiola. Since entering Manchester City, he has proudly risen to the rank of the best coach in football history by making Manchester City the best team in the world. There is no replacement for Guardiola in the current soccer history. Manchester City could also be shaken like Manchester United, where Alex Ferguson left. Guardiola's departure is what all EPL fans except Manchester City are hoping for, but it is too sudden news.
