Pep Guardiola has been dramatically tipped to leave Manchester City this week, though if not, he is expected to depart this summer.

The former Barcelona and Bayern Munich boss appeared downcast after City’s heavy defeat in the Manchester derby on Saturday.

Pundit Richard Keys predicts Guardiola could exit before City’s next Premier League match. Despite a contract running until 2027, speculation over his future is growing, and Guardiola has grown weary of constant questioning, insisting an exit is “not on the table” for now. 

Keys suggested that if Guardiola leaves imminently, ex-Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca could replace him, while a summer exit might see Vincent Kompany return to the Etihad as City manager.
