Pep Guardiola has yet to make a decision about his future. The Catalan manager has yet to decide whether he will remain at Manchester City at the end of this season, despite the fact that his contract runs until June 2027.
Although the contract is still valid, signals from the club and comments from the manager himself suggest that the successful coach will end his spell at City in the summer of 2026, after a decade of success and domestic dominance.
According to the British newspaper The Telegraph, Guardiola was due to inform the club’s board of his decision during the recent international break, but the expected meeting did not take place and no official statement has been issued by the manager or the club.
Reports suggest that Guardiola, aged 55, has decided to postpone his decision until the end of the season. Guardiola is not yet sure whether he can continue with the same enthusiasm and dedication.
The newspaper reported that the Spanish manager intends to ask himself two crucial questions in May: to what extent the current squad can perform and respond to his ideas, and whether he has the energy to continue working in the Premier League or needs a ‘year off’, as he hinted at in previous comments.
This uncertainty has not gone unnoticed within the corridors of Manchester City; according to English sources, the board is already looking for alternative options in anticipation of Guardiola’s departure.
The two names most likely to be appointed are Manchester City icon Vincent Kompany, now manager of Bayern Munich, and Julian Nagelsmann, Germany’s national team manager.
