While rumours of him leaving have persisted all season, another title win would wrap up his tenure at the Etihad Stadium on super good terms. Guardiola’s leave is just a year earlier than his contract stated.
With Arsenal needing just one win to clinch the Premier League title, if this happens, it will be the first time Guardiola has gone two whole seasons back-to-back without winning the league.
