Manchester City fans are eagerly awaiting a decision from Pep Guardiola regarding his future at the club. With his current contract set to expire at the end of the season, speculation has been growing about whether the Spaniard will extend his stay or move on. Given Guardiola’s remarkable success at City, many consider him one of the greatest managers of all time, and the club is keen to see him continue.
City is hoping for clarity before 2025, as finding a suitable successor to Guardiola would be a daunting task. Recently, rumors have surfaced linking Guardiola to the England national team job, and he appears to be attracting interest from other national sides as well.
According to a report from *The Telegraph*, Guardiola has received approaches from three national teams in recent months. While the English FA is believed to be one of them, the other two remain unnamed. Guardiola has expressed interest in coaching a national team in the future, although he acknowledged that anything could happen. Notably, financial incentives would not be a primary factor in his decision; instead, he would take the role based on the challenge it presents.
Despite the interest from national teams, *The Telegraph* suggests that Guardiola is most likely to extend his contract with Manchester City by another year, taking him to a full decade at the club. This potential extension would align with his admiration for the current City squad and his long-standing connection to the club.
Even though City’s sporting director, Txiki Begiristain, may be leaving next summer, Guardiola still has all the tools for continued success, including a world-class squad and the adoration of fans. Extending his contract by a year could also give City more time to prepare for his eventual departure, perhaps announcing that the 2025/26 season would be his last.
With Guardiola’s future still undecided, fans are hopeful that he will commit to another season, ensuring more time to plan for a successor to lead the club beyond his reign.
