Manchester City is preparing for its worst fear and it is not relegation to the Championship

Rumors about the possible departure of Pep Guardiola from Manchester City are gaining more and more strength. The latest statements from the Catalan coach, coupled with the imminent departure of Txiki Begiristain, the club's sporting director, suggest that the Spanish coach's cycle at the English club may be coming to an end.

Guardiola has publicly expressed doubts about his future at the club, hinting that he might take a break or even coach a national team. "I have to think about what I'm going to do with my life, if I want to stay here, if I want to take a break, if I want to coach a national team or not," the coach said last August.

The departure of Txiki Begiristain, who has been a fundamental pillar in Manchester City's sports project, has accelerated speculation about Guardiola's future. Both arrived at the club in 2016 and have worked together to build one of the most dominant teams in European football.

Media outlets like The Athletic claim that Guardiola's departure from Manchester City is increasingly likely and could occur at the end of next season. The verdict of the legal process facing the club, although still unknown, could influence the Catalan coach's decision.

The identity of Guardiola's successor is still unknown. Although several names have been considered, such as Hugo Viana, there is currently no confirmed candidate.

Guardiola's possible departure from Manchester City would be a great loss for English football. The Catalan coach has revolutionized English football and has taken the team to the top of European football. His departure would leave a big void in the club and force the management to seek a new sports project.
