By the time the Premier League picture locks in for good, Manchester City’s most successful managerial era may already be ending.
Pep Guardiola will leave the club in the summer following a 10-year spell at Manchester City, David Ornstein reported Monday.. The decision lands with City still fighting for another league title. but it also confirms what many have sensed from the momentum of this season: the Etihad is preparing to move on.
Guardiola, 55, has won everything there is to win with City.. Over his decade in charge. he has delivered six Premier League titles. three FA Cups. five EFL Cups. and a Champions League trophy.. In all. he has won 20 major trophies in his 10 years in Manchester. and even now he is still pushing toward history again.
City’s league standing makes that push feel urgent.. Guardiola’s side are only two points behind league leaders Arsenal, with two games to go.. If City secure Guardiola’s seventh Premier League title. it would cap an extraordinary first domestic treble for him—requiring the wins in the FA Cup and EFL Cup as well.
The timing of the departure gives the final stretch a sharper edge. Guardiola is set to end his spell at a moment when the club is still capable of finishing the season with silverware stacked on top of silverware.
The road that leads away from Guardiola is already being mapped out.. Enzo Maresca is expected to replace him, with the transition set to bring a familiar name into a new role.. Maresca, 46, recently managed Chelsea before stepping down in January due to tension with the club’s owners.. He was replaced by Liam Rosenior.
For City, Maresca is not an outsider. He grew under Guardiola as one of the legendary manager’s assistants from 2022 to 2023. Before taking on senior coaching responsibilities, he also led the club’s Under-21 side for the 2020-21 season.
Guardiola’s own path to Manchester City has been its own kind of long story. Before joining City in 2016, he spent three seasons at Bayern Munich and four at Barcelona, the club where he played and where he spent much of his playing career.
Now the decades-long arc is closing at the point where it still has something left to win—two league matches away from a seventh Premier League title, and potentially, with the right cup outcomes, Guardiola’s first domestic treble.
