REPORT: Pep Guardiola to leave Manchester City at end of 2025/26 season originally appeared on The Sporting News . Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here . Pep Guardiola will leave Manchester City at the end of this season, bringing down the curtain on a historic and record-breaking decade in English football, as per a report by the Daily Mail .

Guardiola's most recent contract extension at the Etihad Stadium in November 2025 took him through to June 2027, but he has seemingly decided to step aside when the 2025/26 season concludes at the end of this week. It is a season that still has an outside chance of ending with a domestic treble, after City beat Chelsea 1-0 in Saturday's FA Cup final to follow up their 2-0 Carabao Cup final win over Arsenal in March. Arsenal are still firmly in control of the Premier League title race heading into the final week, meaning a seventh English top-flight crown in 10 years is probably out of Guardiola's reach.

The Mail report read: "It is thought that City have begun to tell their sponsor partners that the announcement is imminent. The news has also been an open secret among some of those close to Guardiola. " Including three successes in the Community Shield, the weekend FA Cup win took the Catalan's overall trophy haul at City to 20.

It is a return that puts him alongside Sir Alex Ferguson in the pantheon of English football greats and he stands alone when set against his other great contemporaries of the Premier League era: Arsene Wenger, Jose Mourinho and Jurgen Klopp. MORE: Pep Guardiola outlines 'biggest compliment' of Man City career When is Pep Guardiola's last Man City match?
