Pep Guardiola drops bombshell on his future that will send shockwaves through the Premier League

Pep Guardiola has dropped a major update on his future at Manchester City ahead of the new Premier League season getting underway.

The Spaniard’s contract expires in June 2025, with reports claiming that he may decide to leave the Etihad Stadium once that deal ends.

He has been linked with potentially taking the England job, with the FA considering an interim manager approach that would allow Guardiola to take up the role next summer.

The 53-year-old will have spent nine years at City by the time next summer rolls around – a year longer than Jurgen Klopp spent at Liverpool before he decided to leave the club.

Off the field, though, Guardiola has had plenty to deal with during the ongoing pre-season campaign, with doubts over the futures of both Kevin De Bruyne and Ederson.

While De Bruyne is expected to stay at the club amid keen interest from the Saudi Pro League, Guardiola has admitted that Ederson – who was ruled out of the Copa America with Brazil due to a fractured eye socket sustained in the crucial win over Tottenham last season – has ‘a decision to make’ over whether to join Saudi Pro League side Al Ittihad.
