Pep Guardiola has reportedly set his Manchester City exit date after guiding the club to a famous treble this season.

Man City claimed the Champions League after beating Inter Milan 1-0 at the Ataturk Stadium in Istanbul last Saturday.

Of course, the Blues also won the Premier League title after pipping Arsenal to top spot and defeated cross-town rivals Manchester United in the FA Cup final.

Guardiola has transformed Man City since arriving in 2016, having won an impressive five Premier League titles and now the club's first-ever Champions League during his time at the Etihad.

He has two years left to run on his current deal, with The Guardian stating that he plans to leave when his contract expires in 2025.

The Spaniard signed a new deal in November, but appears set to depart in the summer of 2025, which would bring an end to his nine-year spell.

The 52-year-old, who's revered as one of the greatest coaches of all-time, has managed in Spain and Germany, with Barcelona and Bayern Munich respectively.

It's thought he may consider an international job as his next managerial gig if he leaves England.

Guardiola, who won his third Champions League title of his managerial career, addressed his future following Man City's win over Inter.

"I think the job is done," he said.

"I don't want to compare myself with Leo [Messi] but there is an image of him in the World Cup - 'that's it, that's it'. No? Well, in this club I have to know that we're there.

"This Champions League already gives meaning to the five Premier Leagues that we won. But it is also true that we need to go home, disconnect more than a little and knowing all of us, when the adrenaline starts again, we will plug in again."
