Overview
- Pep Guardiola stepped down at the end of the season after a ten-year spell that brought Manchester City 20 major trophies, including six Premier League titles and a Champions League.
- Chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak said in a June 4 interview that a new manager will be named “very soon” and that the club has followed a careful process to find the right successor.
- Multiple outlets report former assistant and ex‑Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca is the frontrunner, but City have not confirmed an appointment and talks over Chelsea compensation are ongoing.
- City are managing notable squad turnover with emotional exits for Bernardo Silva and John Stones, retain Erling Haaland as a leadership focus, and plan targeted summer recruitment.
- An independent commission has yet to publish its long‑running ruling on alleged Premier League financial breaches from 2009–2018, and the club says it will address the verdict publicly when it is released.
