"Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola could reportedly step down as the club's manager this summer, even though he has a year left on his contract. That's according to Ben Jacobs, who has posted an update about Guardiola's situation in response to a leaked video showing what appears to be the filming of a farewell social media post for Bernardo Silva. See below as Jacobs clears up the context behind the clip, whilst adding that even if this is not expected to be related to Guardiola, there is still a chance that he's coming towards the end of his time at the Etihad Stadium"
"Regarding Pep Guardiola. There remains a possibility he departs this summer even though Manchester City point to his contract expiring in summer 2027. However, the leaked video is Silva related. Ben Jacobs (@JacobsBen) May 14, 2026 Regarding Pep Guardiola. There remains a possibility he departs this summer even though Manchester City point to his contract expiring in summer 2027. However, the leaked video is (Bernardo) Silva related, Jacobs posted on X."
"City fans will surely be hoping there's still a chance that Guardiola will stay, but it seems we'll have to wait a little longer before an official confirmation. A summer of goodbyes at Manchester City? This could be an emotional summer for MCFC as club legends such as Bernardo Silva and John Stones will be leaving, and could perhaps be followed out by long-serving manager Guardiola. The Spanish tactician, more than even some of the club's all-time great players of recent times, looks like he'll be close to impossible to replace."
"Former Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca has been strongly linked with the City job by talkSPORT and others, so he looks like a candidate to watch after doing an impressive job"
Pep Guardiola may step down as Manchester City manager this summer even though his contract runs until summer 2027. The possibility is linked to a leaked video that appears to show filming for a farewell social media post for Bernardo Silva. Ben Jacobs clarified the context of the clip and noted that, even if it is Silva-related, there is still a chance Guardiola is nearing the end of his time at the Etihad. City fans hope Guardiola stays, but no official confirmation has been provided. A summer of departures is suggested, including Bernardo Silva and John Stones, with Enzo Maresca mentioned as a potential successor.
