Guardiola's future at the club has been a source of speculation throughout the current campaign, with persistent talk of the Spaniard stepping down a year before his contract ends.
It now looks as if he will indeed walk away, with both the BBC and Daily Mail reporting that Man City's clash with Aston Villa at the weekend is expected to be his final match at the helm.
According to the BBC, staff members and players understand that he'll leave, bringing to an end a ten-year spell that has seen the Abu Dhabi-backed club enjoy unprecedented success.
Enzo Maresca is rumoured to be the frontrunner to replace Guardiola.
Maresca worked as an assistant manager to the 55-year-old from 2022 to 2023, before going on to enjoy success at Leicester and Chelsea, winning the Championship, the Conference League and the Club World Cup.
He left Chelsea after disagreements with higher-ups at the club, but his reputation has only been enhanced by their struggles since.
