- Guardiola undecided on extending Manchester City contract beyond 2025
- City’s success includes historic fourth Premier League title in succession
- Guardiola praises team’s conduct, uncertain about summer transfers
The close season will be a time for Pep Guardiola to contemplate his future at Manchester City. The manager is still determining whether or not to sign a new contract when his current one expires in the summer of 2025.
Guardiola was determined to depart City after the conclusion of the upcoming season due to the treble victory that City achieved last year. He had inked a new contract in November of the previous year. The 53-year-old has now decided to take some time to consider whether or not to extend his stay at a club he joined in 2016, which has led to incredible success. City recently won a historic fourth Premier League title in succession. They were on the brink of becoming the first club in English history to win the double two years in succession, but they could not do so after losing to Manchester United in the FA Cup final on Saturday.
As the new season approaches, the uncertainty surrounding Guardiola’s future at City for the 2025-26 season is palpable. The Catalan tactician is in no rush to make a decision, and this hesitation adds to the intrigue. While City’s executives are eager for him to sign a new contract, they understand the importance of his deliberation and are willing to give him the time he needs to define his long-term goals.

Guardiola’s tenure at City has been nothing short of a triumph. As the club’s most successful manager in history, he has led them to six Premier League titles, two FA Cups, four League Cups, the Champions League, the Super Cup, and the Club World Cup. His systematic approach and dedication to the team were evident in his recent statement during the title parade, ‘I never anticipated that I would remain here for eight years, but everything has gone smoothly.’ His success may seem routine, but it is a testament to his exceptional leadership.
When asked about City’s summer transfer intentions, he responded, “I am uncertain about the outcome.” I am unaware of the athletes’ intentions regarding their decision to remain with us or to depart. Players enter and exit the arena. I am exceedingly satisfied with the team’s conduct throughout the season. I was unable to express a distinct opinion.
