Latest News About Pep Guardiola Quits

I don’t have live access to the latest updates right now. Here’s what I can tell you based on recent reporting up to late 2025 and common patterns around Guardiola’s tenure:

• In 2025 there were persistent rumors about Pep Guardiola potentially stepping away from Manchester City as part of broader discussions about his future, with some outlets suggesting he acknowledged future departure could come at a natural endpoint of his contract period [rumors coverage from late 2025]. However, there was no universal confirmation of an imminent retirement or retirement date at that time [rumors coverage from late 2025].
• In early 2026, multiple outlets began reporting on the possibility of Guardiola leaving City at season’s end, often tied to a high-profile FA Cup or league context, but again generic “reporting” and speculation rather than an officially confirmed decision [early 2026 coverage]. In such situations, City typically would issue an official statement if a departure were finalized.
• As of May 18, 2026, several news outlets in the UK and online aggregators are carrying mentions of Guardiola potentially quitting, with varying degrees of certainty. Some pieces frame it as breaking or imminent, while others present it as ongoing rumors or speculative analyses rather than confirmed fact [mid-May 2026 coverage]. Given the timing, any definitive announcement would likely come from Manchester City or Guardiola himself.
