It has been announced that Pep Guardiola, the current manager of Manchester City, will most likely leave the team at the end of next season. Guardiola has been with the club for eight years and has led them to great success, including six Premier League titles, two FA Cups, and four League Cups. He also achieved the club's first ever Champions League victory, completing an unprecedented treble last season.
Despite City's desire for Guardiola to extend his contract, there are rumors that he will choose to move on after next season. The team is already considering potential replacements, such as Girona's head coach Michel, who has made a name for himself in Spain by guiding Girona to Champions League qualification and competing against top clubs like Real Madrid and Barcelona.
Julian Nagelsmann, former manager of Bayern Munich and current coach of the Germany national team, is also being considered as a possible replacement. Another name on the list is Xabi Alonso, a highly-regarded young coach who recently turned down offers from Liverpool and Bayern to continue coaching at Bayer Leverkusen.
It is clear that Guardiola is highly admired at City, as he himself has expressed his admiration for Roberto De Zerbi, a coach who is currently without a team after leaving Brighton at the end of the season. Despite winning their fourth consecutive league title last weekend, City were unable to secure a double after losing to Manchester United in the FA Cup final.
In a recent interview, Guardiola revealed that he may be closer to leaving than staying at City. He raised doubts about finding motivation for another season after achieving so much success. However, he also mentioned that he has a contract and will stay for at least another season. Talks about his future with the club will continue throughout the season, but it remains to be seen if Guardiola will stay for eight or nine years, as he previously mentioned.
