When the word "insider said" comes up in the world of football, fans immediately perk up. This time, it's the same: famous insider Fabrizio Romano has commented on rumors that Pep Guardiola could leave Manchester City at the end of the season. What he said is simple but very important: there is a possibility, but nothing has been decided yet.
Earlier, British media reported that the Spanish specialist could say goodbye to the club in the summer. According to Romano, some sources within the club have such expectations, but this does not mean a "definite decision" yet. So far, everything revolves around assumptions, possibilities and scenarios.
“According to my information, Guardiola is likely to leave Manchester City at the end of the season. This is also what people close to the process assess. But the decision has not been made yet. There is no official statement. It is only February, so it is too early to talk about guarantees,” said Romano.
The key word here is “February”. That is, spring has not yet arrived, and the most crucial part of the season is ahead. The insider added that a lot will depend on the end of the season, especially the results in the Premier League and the Champions League. If the result is good, it is one decision, if the expected level is not achieved, it is another. For a demanding coach like Guardiola, the final picture on the pitch is of great importance.
At the same time, reports also say that City is monitoring the coaching market and analyzing various candidates in preparation for possible changes. This is also natural: a big club never asks “what will we do tomorrow?” Plan A, plan B - everything must be ready.
Guardiola has been managing Manchester City since 2016. During this time, the team has won a number of major trophies in England: several Premier League titles, the FA Cup and the Champions League have become the main features of this project. Therefore, any news about his possible departure has a huge resonance among fans and the football market.
For now, the situation is as follows: there is no official statement, no decision, only a possibility. The best thing for fans is not to "panic" for now, but to draw conclusions based on the results. Because in football, everything is decided by the final whistle.
