Pep Guardiola will leave Manchester City at the end of this season. The club confirmed the news on Friday, ending what has become one of the most decorated managerial runs in English football history.
According to ESPN, the announcement came directly from the club. Guardiola has managed Manchester City since 2016, winning multiple Premier League titles, FA Cups, League Cups, and the Champions League during his time at the Etihad Stadium.
His departure marks a significant moment for the club and for the broader landscape of European soccer. No successor has been publicly named as of Friday's announcement.
The timing of the confirmation, late in the season, leaves City with the task of identifying and securing a new manager before the start of the 2026-27 campaign. The club now enters what will almost certainly be a highly competitive search for one of the most prominent coaching positions in world soccer.
No further details about Guardiola's next move were immediately available.
