Pep Guardiola's record-breaking, 10-year tenure at Manchester City might be coming to a close, according to reports in the British media.
City wouldn't comment on stories from outlets including national broadcaster the BBC and the Daily Mail that the 55-year-old Guardiola is expected to leave the club at the end of this season. He has a year left on his contract.
Enzo Maresca, the former Chelsea and Leicester manager who was previously assistant to Guardiola at City, is the leading contender to take over, according to the BBC.
There was no immediate response from Maresca's representatives when contacted by The Associated Press.
Guardiola, who has won 17 major trophies at City since arriving in English soccer in 2016, has repeatedly been asked in recent weeks whether he would be staying at City beyond this season.
