Guardiola admits Manchester City must prepare his successor amid Maresca links
""Sooner or later, 75 or 76, I will quit from Manchester City. I understand the question, but I have 18 months and I am so delighted. I was so excited with the development of the team. That is all I can say. This question happens every single season. The club and myself are well connected, and the decision we have to take, what is going to happen will happen.""
""There are no discussions. End of the subject," he said. "I will not be here eternally, but there are no discussions. What is going to happen will happen and the club has to be prepared for everything. The club has to be prepared for the players and the CEOs, except the owners. The rest, the club has to be prepared, but that subject is not on the table right now.""
Pep Guardiola acknowledged that change is inevitable and that he expects to quit Manchester City around age 75 or 76 while emphasising he currently has 18 months remaining on his contract and is delighted with the team's development. Manchester City have begun identifying potential successors despite Guardiola signing an extension in November 2024 that runs to the end of the 2026–27 season. No formal discussions about his departure are taking place, but the club must prepare for all scenarios. Preparation extends beyond the manager to players and executives, with succession planning regarded as necessary though not an immediate agenda item.
