"Manchester City could begin 2026/27 with a new manager in the dugout for the first time in a decade. Pep Guardiola's stint in east Manchester is widely understood to be coming to an end after a hugely successful tenure, according to The Athletic. Guardiola's contract expires in June 2027 but there is a chance he leaves Manchester City a year earlier."
"According to The Athletic, Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca is being lined up as Guardiola's replacement. The Italian is at odds with the Stamford Bridge hierarchy despite success on the pitch during his 18-month spell in charge of the Blues. Maresca is not the only candidate, per The Athletic's report, but is named due to his prior connection with the Etihad club."
Manchester City could have a new manager at the start of 2026/27 after Pep Guardiola's lengthy spell at the club. Guardiola's contract runs to June 2027 but he could depart a year earlier. Manchester City are preparing contingency plans should he leave at the end of 2025/26. Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca is being considered among candidates because of his prior work with City's Elite Development Squad and a season as Guardiola's assistant. Maresca has managerial experience at Parma and Chelsea, winning the Conference League and Club World Cup, and has reportedly changed agents.
