Pep Guardiola is set to depart Manchester City at the end of the current season, with his final match scheduled for next Sunday, May 24th, in the Premier League's concluding fixture against Aston Villa. This information was reported by the Daily Mail on Monday.
According to the same source, the news has already been communicated to the club's sponsors, who were informed of the impending official announcement. Confirmation is expected next Sunday, with plans for an open-top bus parade on Monday, allowing City fans to celebrate the Catalan manager's legacy.
The 55-year-old Catalan coach will thus conclude a ten-year tenure at City, during which he secured 20 trophies and transformed the club into one of the world's most prominent footballing powerhouses. His achievements include six Premier League titles, notably an unprecedented four consecutive championships, and the club's first-ever Champions League triumph.
Meanwhile, the team continues its pursuit of silverware. On Saturday, City clinched the FA Cup by defeating Chelsea 1-0 at Wembley and remains in contention for the Premier League title alongside Arsenal. Before Sunday's decisive match, the team will first face Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium this Tuesday.
