A fresh revelation has emerged about the months where Pep Guardiola will decide his future at Manchester City.
In May, it was reported that the decision-makers at City are hoping that Guardiola decides his next career move by Christmas.
The £378,846-a-week man is arguably the most important figure behind the Sky Blues’ success and how early he decides to stay or leave the club at the end of his contract in 2025 could give the higher-ups enough time to conjure up their plan of action accordingly.
However, it seems unlikely that Pep Guardiola will rush into making a decision — taking into account how accustomed he is to life at the Etihad Stadium and Manchester for eight years.

The months where Pep Guardiola will decide Manchester City future revealed
The Catalan tactician has returned to pre-season training, as posted by the club’s official X account.
Guardiola will be preparing his Manchester City side ahead of their pre-season tour to the United States of America — where they will face the likes of Celtic, AC Milan, Barcelona and Chelsea.
Less than a month later, the Sky Blues will go toe-to-toe with Manchester United in the Community Shield at Wembley Stadium.
The former Bayern Munich boss has plenty on his plate currently.
As per a report by journalist Jamie Jackson in The Guardian, Pep Guardiola will decide his future at Manchester City between the months of December and February.
Ideal if Manchester City are aware of the Pep Guardiola plan
If the decision-makers are City are aware that Guardiola has earmarked the months between December and February to decide whether he wishes to stay at the club or leave the club, all parties will be on the same page.
Neither will the higher-ups at the Etihad Stadium feel pressured to ask the six-time Premier League winner about his decision, nor will the man in question be disrupted while making a hugely important career move.
With how streamlined Manchester City come across as a club from top to bottom, it seems likely that Pep Guardiola and the board might have had communicated with each other to stay aligned.
Guardiola would be able to assess how the players continue to respond to his instructions and how he feels about staying in England whilst being able to set up his side up to achieve their goals without feeling any pressure from the top.
