Multiple major media outlets report that Pep Guardiola, Manchester City's manager, will depart the club after this season concludes, despite having one year remaining on his contract. Guardiola recently extended his deal with Manchester City through 2027 last summer, but reports now indicate the 54-year-old trainer is preparing to step down from his position at the end of this season. According to the latest reports from BBC and The Athletic, Guardiola will leave his position as Manchester City's head coach after the current season concludes. His match this weekend against Aston Villa is expected to be his final game with the club, with preparations for his departure already underway at the club as staff members understand his intention to leave. Additional reports suggest that Enzo Maresca, former Chelsea manager and a former assistant to Guardiola, is the leading candidate to replace the 55-year-old head coach. During his 10-year tenure at Manchester City, Guardiola has won 17 major trophies with the club, totaling 20 overall, including 6 Premier League titles, 1 UEFA Champions League title, 3 FA Cups, and 5 Carabao Cups.
