Pep Guardiola still has a two-year contract with Manchester City and, according to British media, plans to leave the club after its expiry, so in mid-2025. His decision would be almost certain by now.
Guardiola not planning to sign with Man City
The Guardian reports this on Monday. The British quality newspaper knows that it was not self-evident that the success coach would extend his contract in November last year, but the Spaniard, having signed twice, would now be sure that he will close the door at the Etihad Stadium after nine years.
In the remaining two years, the Spanish manager will look to further expand his impressive collection of trophies: starting with Saturday’s completed Treble, the club will have the chance to win next season’s Community Shield, European Super Cup and World Cup. for club teams to win.

Ancelotti takes financially troubled Everton to court
Another Champions League winner, Carlo Ancelotti has sued Everton. The Italian will face the club in court where he was at the helm between December 2019 and the summer of 2021.
Ancelotti’s charge has been registered under the heading of ‘general commercial contracts and understandings’, so all we know now is that Ancelotti believes that Everton have not complied with agreements made. Lawyers for Ancelotti, who traded Everton for Real Madrid, and Everton’s have not yet commented.
For The Toffees it is hoped that any financial damage will be limited. The club from Liverpool is already struggling financially. To fund the construction of the new stadium – which should be in use by mid-2024 – owner Farhad Moshiri is diligently looking for investors. On the field, manager Sean Dyche, one of Ancelotti’s successors, narrowly managed to keep the club for the Premier League.
Former assistant of Nagelsmann finds Bundesliga job
Continuing with managers, Eintracht Frankfurt has found a new head coach. Dino Toppmöller comes over from Bayern Munich and is the successor to Oliver Glasner. Who leaves the losing cup finalist despite an ongoing contract.
Glasner led Frankfurt to a Europa League win last year and reached the German Cup final this season, but performed disappointingly in the Bundesliga with ninth place. It therefore recently became clear that the 48-year-old Austrian would leave the club of former PSV players Mario Götze and Philipp Max after two years.
As Glasner’s successor, Frankfurt is teaming up with 42-year-old Toppmöller. Who played for Frankfurt in the 2002/03 season (then in the Second Bundesliga). In recent years, the former striker has worked as an assistant to Julian Nagelsmann. At RB Leipzig and Bayern Munich, which, like Nagelsmann, suspended him in March.
Toppmöller still had an ongoing contract with Bayern, so Frankfurt had to pay a lump sum for him. With his first job as head coach in the Bundesliga, he follows in the footsteps of his father Klaus. Toppmöller also coached Frankfurt and led Bayer Leverkusen to the 2002 Champions League final.
