There is a growing conviction among Premier League managers that this will be Pep Guardiola’s final season at Manchester City even though his contract runs until 2027.
Guardiola’s future is understood to be a burning topic of conversation among many managers and coaches, with one at a leading club having told his executives last week that he is sure the 55-year-old, who arrived at City in 2016, will leave at the end of this season.
That would be a year before his contract expires, but no doubt the revelation that Enzo Maresca told Chelsea he had spoken to City on three occasions earlier this season about replacing Guardiola has added to the belief that the Catalan will call it a day.
