Pep Guardiola could leave Manchester City at the end of the 2024/25 season, when his contract with the club expires. The Catalonian led the Sky Blues to an unprecedented fourth consecutive Premier League title this past season, albeit coming up short in the FA Cup final against rivals Manchester United.
Since joining the team eight years ago, he has won 15 trophies including the Champions League title as part of the treble last season. And now, the hierarchy is giving him control of his future by allowing him to decide whether he wants to stay or go.

The 53-year-old revealed that he was closer to leaving than staying after winning the Premier League title. And having achieved the objective of winning the Champions League title with Manchester City, it seems much more likely that he could leave, as compared to the last time he renewed his contract.
Under Pep Guardiola, Manchester City have been a dominant force like no other in England. They have fought off incredibly strong competition from Liverpool, and now, Arsenal, to retain their stronghold on the league title.
But almost a decade later, things could be set for a change with the Catalonian in the final 12 months of his contract. Guardiola has already identified his successor, with former assistant manager Mikel Arteta praised and linked to City by the man himself.
