The iconic manager, whose future beyond this season has been the subject of constant speculation, told reporters that he intends to make a phone call to his successor, adding an unusually personal touch to the transition.\n\nGuardiola, who has defined an era of dominance at the Etihad, is preparing to hand over the reins after a trophy-laden spell. While the exact timing of his departure remains unconfirmed, his promise to call the next manager underscores the meticulous care he is taking over the club’s future, even as he prepares to step away.\n\nThe gesture is classic Guardiola—thoughtful, yet pragmatic. By phoning his replacement, he aims to offer insights and perhaps a seamless handover of the squad he has meticulously built. He did not disclose what he would say, but the move signals his deep connection to the club and his desire to see it thrive beyond his tenure.\n\nSpeculation over who will take over has been swirling, with several high-profile names linked to the post. However, Guardiola’s announcement did not tip his hand regarding any preferred candidate. Instead, he focused on the act itself: a simple call to welcome the new manager and, presumably, share his perspective on the team’s strengths and dressing-room dynamics.\n\nCity’s hierarchy will ultimately make the appointment, but Guardiola’s involvement in the transition, however symbolic, could smooth the path for the next boss. The promise also reflects the respect he commands within the game; few outgoing managers make such a personal overture to an unknown successor.\n\nThe Catalan’s tenure has transformed City into a relentless winning machine, collecting multiple Premier League titles, FA Cups, and a long-awaited Champions League crown. His departure, whenever it comes, will mark the end of an era. This commitment to personally anoint his replacement is a final hallmark of his meticulous approach.\n\nFor now, Guardiola remains focused on the current campaign, but his words will fuel further discussion about the timeline and identity of the next manager. One thing is certain: whoever steps into the role will receive a call from one of football’s greatest minds, a conversation that could shape the early days of their reign.\n\nBased on reporting from ESPN.","news","Pep Guardiola has vowed to personally call whoever is chosen to succeed him as Manchester City manager, adding a unique touch to his eventual exit.","326257546392244224","Nottingham Forest","334315540157829121","326135625054949376","Premier League","327052696336994304","Nottingham Forest vs Newcastle","2026-05-25T06:45:52Z","guardiola-to-personally-call-his-man-city-replacement","ESPN","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.espn.com\u002Fsoccer\u002Fstory\u002F_\u002Fid\u002F48870381\u002Fpep-guardiola-promises-call-man-city-successor","326257546258026496","Manchester City",[79,68,63,82,83,84,85,86,87,88,89,90,91],"326257551639318528","326257613643714560","326257617288564736","326257810155245568","326257814404075520","326257814563459072","326257817600135168","326222707169431552","326257554411753472","326257556324356096",[80,69,64,93,94,95,96,97,98,99,100,101,102],"Mannsdorf-Großenzersdorf","Hassania Agadir","Mantova","Mansfield Town","Hastings United","Histon","Mangotsfield United","Anderlecht","Newcastle Jets","Newells Old Boys","Guardiola to Personally Call His Man City Replacement",[105,136,164,189],{"awayTeamId":-1,"awayTeamName":-1,"body":-1,"category":66,"excerpt":106,"homeTeamId":-1,"homeTeamName":-1,"id":107,"leagueId":71,"leagueName":72,"matchId":108,"matchName":21,"publishedAt":109,"slug":110,"sourceName":111,"sourceURL":112,"teamId":113,"teamName":114,"teamIds":115,"teamNames":125,"title":135},"Pierre Sage is set to join Crystal Palace after leading Lens to Coupe de France glory.
