This is the 4th season for Manchester City to defend the Premier League title, will they be able to defend it next season? I can't predict this with certainty, because in the Premier League it will be very difficult to predict, because the league is very competitive. However, if you look at their performance this season, in my opinion their performance has dropped a little and maybe next season it can be more than this.
One thing I see from them, they have a strong foundation, so that's good for them, so to compete I think they can still compete, but to be able to defend the title I can't predict with certainty. because next season I think several clubs will be able to improve, and one of them is Arsenal where every season they continue to improve and it is not impossible that next season they will be much better than this season. Chelsea is also showing improvement, maybe they will be a threat next season if they succeed in improving their performance.

But, did you know that recently there was an issue about Pep Guardiola stating that he would leave. If the issue becomes a reality, then the competition next season will certainly be even better because perhaps, only Arsenal with Arteta have formed well. Can not imagine if Manhcester City without Pep Guardiola, then I'm sure Manchester City will not have a good ability to win the titles if Pep Guardiola really leaves in the summer. Of course, the decision is also a very surprising decision and thus, then of course Manchester City will also move quickly to be able to get the right coach for next season. But indeed, even so, I will also still wait for the truth but at least, I think it could happen.
It has been reported by daily mail's reporter on his X. Pep will be step down as a coach in the next summer when his contract will be running out with manchester city. There is still one season left for him to coaching city. I was also reading if there would probably some candidates to be signed by city as pep's replacement.
These candidates are
- Xabi alonso (leverkusen)
- Michel (Girona) still a part of city football group.
- Naglesmann
It's still too early to talk about this but i think that those name make sense caused by they are having similar method in coaching the club like pep guardiola. Michel can be migrated from girona to the manchester city easily.
