Pep Guardiola is odds-on to still be Manchester City manager on 9th August 2025 with his contract in its final year.

Odds will display when market is available. Market settled on Manchester City's manager on 9th August 2025.

With uncertainty continuing to surround Guardiola's future at City, the club's board will certainly be planning for a potential departure, with candidates likely being scouted well ahead of time.

Xabi Alonso is likely to be an attractive proposition for City supporters to replace Guardiola following the Spaniard's unprecedented heroics with Bayer Leverkusen last term - winning the Bundesliga without losing a single match.

Girona's Michel is also being talked up as a possible successor to Guardiola, with the La Liga outfit's ties to the City Football Group ensuring his expertise will be well known to the chief decision makers at the Etihad.

Former club captain Vincent Kompany, Sporting boss Ruben Amorim and Paris Saint-Germain manager Luis Enrique are all also amongst the frontrunners in the betting to be in charge of Man City ahead of next season.
