Pep Guardiola and Manchester City have become the first to win the Premier League four times in a row.

Pep Guardiola's record-breaking reign at Manchester City is set to come to an end next season, with the Catalan mastermind reportedly ready to walk away from the Etihad after one final tilt at reshaping his squad.

Guardiola, who joined City in 2016, has just 12 months remaining on his existing contract, and the club fears his ninth year at the helm will represent the end of an era that has seen him become the most successful manager in their history.

Guardiola to leave Manchester City?

Despite the club's hierarchy being desperate to extend Guardiola's stay, the 52-year-old is believed to be intent on departing once his current deal expires, bringing the curtain down on a spell that has redefined English football, per a Daily Mail report.

Under Guardiola's tutelage, City have become the first side to win four Premier League titles in a row, cementing their status as the dominant force in a competition that has famously been branded a "farmer's league" by football fans

The former Barcelona and Bayern Munich boss has accumulated a staggering 15 major trophies during his time at the Etihad, including City's long-awaited first Champions League triumph last season.

However, the recent FA Cup final defeat to Manchester United is thought to have left Guardiola determined to reshape his squad one last time before bidding farewell to the club he has helped elevate to unprecedented heights.
