Pep Guardiola plans to leave Manchester City when his contract expires in 2025 - but has changed his mind over his next move.
The City boss, 52, is intent on walking away from the Etihad Stadium in two seasons' time after a glittering nine-year stint, during which he's elevated the club to becoming kings of Europe for the first time. Saturday's narrow 1-0 victory over Inter Milan in the Champions League final secured an historic treble for City and in the immediate aftermath, Guardiola had a chat with chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak about his future.
While Guardiola is determined to keep stocking up the Etihad trophy cabinet, especially since signing a contract extension last November, the Guardian report that he's planning to depart at the end of the 2024-2025 campaign. Previously, after managing in Spain, Germany and England, it was thought that the former Barcelona boss would like to coach in Italy.
