Multiple reports indicate Pep Guardiola will not make a decision about his Manchester City future until the end of the season. According to major media, Manchester City's management is compiling a shortlist of possible replacements for Guardiola, including Enzo Maresca, Xabi Alonso, and Vincent Kompany. The specific factors Guardiola will analyze in May to decide his future remain unclear, and it is unknown whether Manchester City's potential domestic treble will influence his choice to stay or leave.
Guardiola is the longest-serving manager in the Premier League, the club confirmed. Manchester City has only hired three managers under their current ownership: Roberto Mancini, Manuel Pellegrini, and Pep Guardiola. Which players on expiring contracts, like Bernardo Silva, will stay or leave depending on Guardiola's decision has not been confirmed.
