According to The Athletic, the Catalan coach will call time on a decade-long reign that has redefined the club's identity, leaving behind an unprecedented legacy of silverware. The news has sent shockwaves through English football, given Guardiola's transformative impact at the Etihad Stadium since his arrival in 2016.\n\nGuardiola's tenure has been nothing short of remarkable. Over ten seasons, he has guided City to six Premier League titles, a long-awaited Champions League triumph in 2023, and a staggering haul of 20 major trophies. This season alone, even as speculation about his future grew, City secured both the Carabao Cup and the FA Cup, the latter with a 1-0 victory over Chelsea at Wembley. That win epitomized the relentless hunger Guardiola instilled in his squad, yet it may prove to be his final piece of silverware with the club.\n\nThe whispers of Guardiola's exit have intensified in recent weeks, with the 53-year-old's contract situation and personal reflections suggesting a natural endpoint. Sources close to the club indicate that after achieving virtually everything possible, Guardiola feels the time is right to seek a new challenge or a break from the intense demands of the Premier League. City's hierarchy has long prepared for this moment, ensuring a succession plan is in place to maintain the club's elite status.\n\nEnter Enzo Maresca, the Italian tactician who is now the frontrunner to replace Guardiola. Maresca is no stranger to the blue half of Manchester, having spent formative years within City's setup. He initially joined as a youth coach, quickly impressing with his tactical acumen and alignment with Guardiola's philosophy. This led to a role as first-team assistant, where he learned directly from the master, absorbing the nuances of the positional play and high-pressing style that have become City's hallmark.\n\nMaresca's journey since leaving City has been varied. He enjoyed a successful spell at Leicester City, guiding them to Championship promotion, before being handed the reins at Chelsea in 2023. His time at Stamford Bridge, however, ended abruptly in January 2025 after a turbulent run of results. Despite that setback, his reputation as a coaching disciple of Guardiola remains intact, and many within the game believe he possesses the intelligence and man-management skills to thrive in familiar surroundings.\n\nThe potential appointment signals a clear continuity strategy from City's ownership. By turning to Maresca, they are betting on a coach who not only understands the club's DNA but also shares a deep tactical kinship with his predecessor. Reports suggest that informal discussions have already taken place, with City's decision-makers convinced that Maresca can pick up the baton and keep the club at the summit of English and European football.\n\nWhat would Maresca inherit? A squad brimming with world-class talent, but also one that is aging in key areas. The challenge will be to refresh the team while preserving the winning culture Guardiola built. Moreover, stepping into the shoes of a managerial icon brings immense pressure, as previous successors at clubs like Manchester United and Arsenal have found. Maresca will need to earn the trust of a demanding dressing room and a fanbase accustomed to excellence.\n\nFor the Premier League, Guardiola's departure marks the end of an era. His tactical innovations have influenced coaching across the continent, and his duels with rivals like Jürgen Klopp and Mikel Arteta have defined a generation of English football. Without him, the competitive landscape could shift, opening the door for challengers who have long lived in City's shadow. Yet, if Maresca can even partially replicate his mentor's success, City may remain the team to beat.\n\nThe coming weeks promise clarity as the season draws to a close. Guardiola will surely receive a hero's send-off, his legacy secure as one of the greatest managers in the sport's history. For Maresca, it is the opportunity of a lifetime—a chance to step out of the shadows and write his own chapter. Manchester City's next move will be watched with fascination by the entire football world.\n\nAs the club navigates this delicate transition, the foundations laid by Guardiola offer a sturdy launching pad. Whether Maresca can build upon them is the central question. One thing is certain: the end of the Guardiola era is not just a moment of change, but a testament to the heights one man can lift a club when vision meets execution.\n\nBased on reporting from L'Equipe.","news","Pep Guardiola set to leave Manchester City at season's end after 10 trophy-laden years, with former assistant Enzo Maresca in talks to succeed him.","326257546220277760","Chelsea","331938888610222081","326135625054949376","Premier League","327054503574507520","Chelsea vs Manchester City","2026-05-18T20:38:02Z","why-pep-guardiola-is-leaving-man-city-maresca-in-talks","L'Equipe","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.lequipe.fr\u002FFootball\u002FActualites\u002FPep-guardiola-devrait-quitter-manchester-city-enzo-maresca-pressenti-pour-lui-succeder\u002F1676991#at_medium=RSS_feeds",[45,50,62,63,64,65,66,67,68,69,70,71],"326257807714160640","326222712936599552","326222767416414208","326255039846813696","326255040996052992","326255041625198592","326257545712766976","326257812931874816","326257545968619520","326222707169431552",[46,51,73,74,75,76,77,78,79,80,81,82],"Leicester","Paraguay","Lesotho","FK Partizan","Kalju Nomme","Partizani","Manchester United","Stamford","Arsenal","Anderlecht","Why Pep Guardiola is Leaving Man City: Maresca in Talks",[85,114,131,154],{"awayTeamId":-1,"awayTeamName":-1,"body":-1,"category":48,"excerpt":86,"homeTeamId":-1,"homeTeamName":-1,"id":87,"leagueId":53,"leagueName":54,"matchId":88,"matchName":21,"publishedAt":89,"slug":90,"sourceName":91,"sourceURL":92,"teamId":93,"teamName":94,"teamIds":95,"teamNames":104,"title":113},"After 14 seasons, Russell Wilson retires from the NFL to join CBS Sports as an analyst.
