Overview
- The insider post on X, published Saturday, claimed Pep Guardiola will step down at season’s end with Enzo Maresca all but agreed to take over.
- Guardiola said Sunday he still has “incredible energy” for the job and he did not confirm any plan to leave.
- Liam Gallagher wrote Saturday that a phone call with Guardiola left him believing the manager will stay.
- Reports repeat that City have quietly planned for succession, including talk of naming a stand for Guardiola, while Maresca’s past role as his assistant suggests continuity if appointed.
- Guardiola is under contract until 2027 and City are chasing a domestic treble, which makes any managerial change this summer both high profile and still unverified.
