Pep Guardiola set for Manchester City departure after current deal ends and tempted by intenational job – reports

Pep Guardiola will leave Manchester City once his current contract expires in 2025 as he is not expected to sign a new deal, according to reports.

It is believed that an international job would be his next focus amid links to both the Brazil and USA national team jobs in recent years.

He led City to an historic treble this season of Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League trophies, becoming only the second English club to achieve the feat after Manchester United in 1999.

However, it is understood that the Spaniard is reluctant to negotiate a new deal next year.

The former Barcelona and Bayern Munich boss has reportedly stayed longer in Manchester than he originally planned, but City will still try to convince 52-year-old to extend his tenure further.

Since arriving at the Etihad, Guardiola has led the club to 12 major trophies and the crowning glory was their first Champions League triumph on Sunday.

After ending a personal 12-year wait to win Europe’s premier club competition, he said: “I am tired, calm. Satisfied. This f****** trophy is so hard to win. This competition is a coin (toss). It was written in the stars. It belongs to us.

“It looks like this competition this year, this final, was written in the stars. I am so happy but at the end they could have scored and we could have lost and I would be the same person, we would be the same club. Winning the first one is so difficult. Maybe in the future I’m not saying it will be easy but maybe more comfortable.”

Looking ahead to the more immediate future, City’s players and staff will celebrate their achievements with an open-top bus parade through Manchester on Monday.
