Pep Guardiola QUITS Manchester City

Pep Guardiola will leave Manchester City at the end of the season following the club’s recent FA Cup triumph at Wembley.

According to the Daily Mail, Guardiola’s departure is expected to be officially confirmed ahead of Manchester City’s final Premier League game of the campaign against Aston Villa.

The Spaniard has spent 10 years at the Etihad and won 20 trophies during his time in charge, including six Premier League titles and the club’s first-ever Champions League.

The news marks the end of an era for Manchester City and could significantly impact the Premier League landscape moving forward.

From a Manchester United perspective, Guardiola’s departure will also close the chapter on one of the fiercest managerial rivalries English football has seen in recent years.

His final Manchester derby ended in disappointment.

United secured a 2-0 victory at Old Trafford during Michael Carrick’s first game of his second interim spell in charge earlier this year.

That result was viewed as a major turning point in United’s season.

Guardiola leaves Manchester City having transformed the club into one of Europe’s dominant forces.

During his decade in charge, City won multiple league titles, domestic cups and finally secured the Champions League trophy that had long escaped them.

The timing of the decision also comes during a summer where several major football figures are preparing to move on from their clubs.

Casemiro recently confirmed he will leave Manchester United at the end of the season after playing his final Old Trafford match against Nottingham Forest.

Liverpool are also preparing for change.

Mohamed Salah has likewise announced he will leave Liverpool this summer, bringing another iconic Premier League era towards its conclusion.

Manchester City are now expected to begin the process of identifying Guardiola’s long-term successor immediately.

Former City captain Vincent Kompany and ex-Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca are already among the names heavily linked with the role.

Further updates are expected soon once Manchester City officially confirm Guardiola’s decision.
