Guardiola’s impending departure comes on the heels of Manchester City’s recent FA Cup victory over Chelsea—marking the 55-year-old’s 20th major trophy since arriving at the Etihad in 2016.
Though his current contract runs until June 2027, The Athletic reports Guardiola is preparing to step down after City’s final two matches of the season against Bournemouth and Aston Villa.
The transition process appears well underway.
The Athletic previously reported in December that Maresca was on City’s radar, later disclosing that the Italian explicitly informed Chelsea hierarchy he was in discussions regarding the position prior to his Stamford Bridge exit in January.
