Manchester City are preparing for Pep Guardiola to depart after a decade in charge, despite the club’s hope he will honour his contract.

Former Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca, a one-time assistant at City, is the leading contender to succeed the departing manager.

The Catalan has transformed English football, delivering 20 trophies, including six Premier League titles, a Champions League, and the historic 2022/23 treble.

Arsenal’s win over Burnley means anything but victory at Bournemouth would likely end the title race, potentially hastening an announcement.
