Pep Guardiola's future at Manchester City has been in the spotlight this season amid increasing speculation that the 55-year-old is currently preparing to end his long stay at the Etihad Stadium. The City manager is contracted to the Premier League club until the summer of 2027 but has been tipped to walk away from the job at the end of the 2025-26 season.

Pep Guardiola has pledged to keep on speaking out on injustices after his recent passionate speech about wars provoked criticism in some quarters. The Manchester City boss reiterated that he condemns all conflicts across the globe and respected all opinions but he said it was vitally important to keep speaking out because the world wants people to stay silent.

Jamie Carragher believes that Pep Guardiola could be playing out his “last dance” in 2025-26. The Catalan coach is tied to a contract at Manchester City through to the summer of 2027, but there have been suggestions that said deal could be terminated 12 months earlier than that proposed end date. Carragher admits that Guardiola will walk away as one of the greats, with an emotional farewell to the Premier League potentially on the cards.

Sandro Tonali generated plenty of headlines on deadline day as the winter transfer window of 2026 came to a close, with Arsenal reported to have made a play for the Newcastle midfielder. No deal was done, but speculation continues to rage. Manchester City are said to be another of Tonali’s many suitors, and Pep Guardiola was spotted in deep conversation with the 25-year-old at the end of a Carabao Cup encounter.

Pep Guardiola has confirmed that Manchester City will formally write to the football authorities to demand Marc Guehi be deemed eligible for the Carabao Cup final against Arsenal. The City manager expressed his bewilderment after his £20 million January signing was forced to watch from the stands as his teammates dismantled Newcastle on Wednesday, insisting that the regulations preventing the defender from playing defy logic given the club pays his wages.
