Reports emerging from England suggest Pep Guardiola is unhappy over the timing of leaked information surrounding his reported departure from Manchester City F.C..
According to reports by The Sun, the City manager was left furious after news of his alleged exit surfaced publicly despite players reportedly being informed only days earlier that he intended to remain at the club.
The reports claim Guardiola later organised a late-night group call with members of the squad to personally address the situation and apologise for the manner in which the news became public.
Players are said to have been shocked by the development, particularly after being reassured as recently as Saturday that the Spaniard would continue at the Etihad Stadium.
The reports have intensified speculation surrounding Guardiola’s future despite the fact that neither Manchester City nor the manager has officially confirmed any departure plans.
Several British media outlets, however, indicate that Guardiola could leave the club at the end of the 2025/26 season, potentially bringing an end to one of the most successful managerial eras in Premier League history.
Since joining Manchester City in 2016, Guardiola has transformed the club into a dominant force in English and European football, winning multiple Premier League titles, domestic trophies, and the UEFA Champions League.
The timing of the reports has also generated concern among supporters, with City still competing in crucial fixtures as the season approaches its conclusion.
Manchester City are yet to release an official statement on the growing speculation.
