Arsenal Clinch Premier League as Reports Signal Guardiola’s Man City Exit

Reports point to Enzo Maresca as the preferred successor, with the club yet to confirm.

Overview

  • Arsenal secured the 2025–26 title after Manchester City drew 1-1 at Bournemouth on Tuesday, creating an unreachable four-point lead with one match to play.
  • Eli Junior Kroupi put Bournemouth ahead and Erling Haaland equalized in stoppage time, a result that ended City’s last mathematical chance.
  • Multiple British outlets report Pep Guardiola will leave after Sunday’s season finale despite having a year left on his deal, and some say he has already informed players, though no official statement has been issued.
  • Enzo Maresca is widely reported as the front-runner to replace Guardiola, with some reports describing a verbal three-year agreement in place.
  • Guardiola’s likely exit would close a decade in which he won 20 trophies with City, while Arsenal now shift focus to the May 30 Champions League final against Paris Saint‑Germain in Budapest.
