Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola may extend his contract by 12 months, easing concerns among supporters about his future at the club. While Guardiola himself has not expressed urgency about his contract situation, there could be a desire for clarity from both fans and players.

The potential extension of Guardiola’s contract would give him flexibility to assess his feelings before the end of the 2024/25 season. This move would benefit both the club and the Catalan coach, allowing Guardiola to either complete a decade at Manchester City or leave with a handshake if a suitable replacement emerges.

While Manchester City has not identified a clear successor to Guardiola, profiles such as Xabi Alonso and Roberto De Zerbi are being monitored. Míchel Sanchez at Girona is also being considered as a potential candidate to take over from Guardiola in the future. The club is keeping a close eye on developments and coaching styles of various individuals as they plan for Guardiola’s eventual departure.
