It’s an open secret, but Pep Guardiola’s contract with Manchester City will end on June 30, 2025. And since he officially entered his final year, the Catalan tactician has maintained a breathless suspense about his future. “I have to think about what I’m going to do with my life, if I want to continue here, if I want to take a break, if I want to coach a national team or not. I’m very excited about the season because I see things that I like. It’s a new challenge, to see if we can beat our own record.”Guardiola even declared during a press briefing in August. The confirmed departure of Txiki Begiristain, sports director of Cityzens since 2012, had even increased the chances of seeing the Catalan leave his position at the end of the season, according to several media including The Athletic. Moreover, rumors continued to swell about the future destination of Pep Guardiola.
In fact, as informed by the Catalan newspaper SportBrazilian legend Ronaldo, who now aspires to take over as president of the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF), is structuring a strong bid with the support of several Brazilian leaders, such as former Corinthians president Andrés Sánchez. To strengthen his candidacy, Ronaldo is proposing a major idea: Pep Guardiola as future coach of Brazil, he who is at the end of his contract with Manchester City in 2025. Ronaldo and his entourage have already shared this idea with Pep’s entourage Guardiola, who has long shown his desire to one day take a selection. Already cited to take over from the Seleçao, Pep Guardiola was rightly mentioned by the current president of the CBF: “I know Guardiola is one of the best coaches in the world, but we didn’t try to sign him. The national team coach is Dorival Junior.emphasized Ednaldo Rodrigues. But yet another twist could take place at the Etihad Stadium.
Negotiations reach their goal
According to information from Matteo Moretto of RelevoManchester City would be optimistic about the extension of Pep Guardiola. However, the final decision has not yet been made, but negotiations are continuing and going well in recent days. An important detail for Hugo Viana who needs time to plan the next season, since several files are closely linked to Guardiola’s future. The cases of Kevin de Bruyne and İlkay Gündoğan, who end their contracts in 2025. Additionally, the 2026 expirations like Bernardo Silva, John Stones, Ederson and Kyle Walker. And the case of Guardiola is the mother of all, knowing that it is the coach who will set the model of play and the profile of the reinforcements. At the start of the week, Relevo affirmed that the Mancunian management could not wait any longer. Pep Guardiola has still not given his decision regarding his future and Hugo Viana, who will be the club’s new sporting director this summer, would however like to know fairly quickly if he will be able to count on the former Barça coach.
Always according to Relevoif no pressure is put on Guardiola, the deadlines would now be very short and the Catalan should make his decision around the Christmas period, if possible before ‘boxing day’ in the Premier League. After a few days of rest due to the international break, Manchester City faces a very important part of the month and not only to know the future of its coach. In Europe, the Sky Blues will face Feyenoord and Juventus to try to close their direct qualification to the round of 16, finishing among the best eight, and in the Premier they will face clubs like Tottenham, Liverpool or Manchester United. A momentous section in every sense of the word. With four consecutive defeats, Manchester City faces a situation never before experienced since the arrival of the native of Santpedor, who will have to urgently raise the bar.
