One of the issues that is in the center of great attention in English football is the future of Pep Guardiola. According to sources, including The Telegraph, the Manchester City manager will make a final decision on his fate only after the end of this season.
At the moment, the Spanish specialist has not made a clear decision on whether to stay at the club for another year. Although his current contract is scheduled until the summer of 2027, Guardiola prefers to define his plans gradually and based on the situation.
Interestingly, the management of the “city” fully supports this approach of the coach. The club insists that there is no pressure on him and that the relationship between the parties is based on mutual trust and respect.
At the same time, Manchester City is also preparing for possible scenarios. The club's management has drawn up a shortlist of specialists who could replace Guardiola if he leaves the team. This list includes names such as former Chelsea head coach Enzo Maresca, Xabi Alonso, a highly rated specialist who worked at Real Madrid and is currently coaching Bayern Munich, as well as Vincent Kompany, who is currently coaching Bayern Munich. The club's sporting director Hugo Viana is overseeing this process.
It should be noted that some sources have reported that the City management has demanded a clear answer from Guardiola about whether he will stay next season. However, it is emphasized that this information is not true.
Looking at the current tournament situation, Manchester City is in second place in the English Premier League with 61 points after 30 rounds. The team is 9 points behind leaders Arsenal, having played one game less.
Pep Guardiola has been in charge of City since 2016 and has managed to turn the team into one of the strongest clubs in Europe and England during that time. Now the main question for fans is how long will he stay at the Etihad?
