Overview
- Pep Guardiola has ended a ten-year spell at Manchester City after winning 20 trophies, including six Premier League titles and a Champions League.
- Multiple outlets report that Guardiola has told close contacts he would like to manage England at some point, but those reports are based on private comments rather than a formal announcement.
- The FA recently extended Thomas Tuchel’s England contract through the summer of 2028, which makes an immediate switch to the national job unlikely.
- Guardiola is expected to take a temporary sabbatical and to move into a senior or ambassadorial role within City Football Group while he considers his next steps.
- Manchester City have not confirmed a successor, with former assistant Enzo Maresca widely reported as the frontrunner and the club signalling internal continuity for the next manager.
