Pep Guardiola could leave the Etihad Stadium at the end of the season.

Man City boss Pep Guardiola is ‘closer than ever’ to becoming the new England national team manager, according to reports.

The Citizens have made a good start to the new Premier League season with Guardiola’s side sitting second in the table and on 14 points from six matches.

Their 1-1 draw at Newcastle, although disappointing, means that defending champions Man City are still unbeaten in the Premier League this campaign.

Guardiola has won six Premier League titles, two FA Cups, four League Cups, one Champions League, one UEFA Super Cup and one FIFA Club World Cup.

The Catalan’s contract is up at the end of the current season with major doubts over whether he will sign a new deal or draw a line under his time at the Etihad Stadium.

Man City, of course, are desperate to see him stay with speculation that they have given him a deadline of Christmas to decide whether he wants to remain or allow the Citizens to search for his successor.

Their current hearing over alleged breaches of the Premier League’s financial fair play rules is an extra complication with some reports claiming that Man City could face points deductions, relegation or even expulsion if found guilty.
