Manchester City have lost four games in a row for the first time since 2006 .

The club are second in the Premier League and 10th in the Champions League group phase table.

Pep Guardiola has a contract until the end of the current campaign.

City want to avoid a situation post-January where Guardiola 's future overshadows their push for trophies.

Manchester City manager Txiki Begiristain will be replaced by Hugo Viana in the summer of 2025 .

Sources close to the club have told ESPN that the two most important factors for Guardiola 's future are the opinion of his family, and whether he still wants to stay at the club.

The 25-year-old is expected to sign a one-year extension to take him to 10 years at City .

Guardiola's reign could be coming to an end as early as this summer .

It could be 2026 or, at a push, 2027 .

City are hoping for at least one more year before he moves on, potentially into international football.
