So last week I got offered a job offer by a company that I’ve went to multiple interviews for and I am excited to join them. I signed the job offer but told the employer verbally that the expected start date I will write on the offer is just estimated initially based on what I have read on the company’s policy (I can join them one month later) and once I hand in my resignation I will know more. (i.e. if my boss needs me for handover or something).
This Thursday I told my direct manager that I will not renew my contract and he told me that he needs me for two months (so that is one month more than I have calculated initially) so I can help in finding a replacement, train them, handover all my current projects to them. And he told me that the period might be one month only depending on how fast we find a replacement and when can they join.
Right now I am kind of embarrassed to talk to my future employer and tell them that I (((might))) join them later. I feel like it was my mistake was that I signed the job offer and gave them an expected start date before talking to my manager.
What is the right approach to handle this?
Should I negotiatie with my current manage on the notice period?
Should I just be honest to my future employer about the hand over? But what if it takes less than two months and I am able to join early?

Why can your soon to be ex manager decide how long you stay? What is your notice period?

I can't really help but this will probably help others: where are you located and when does your contract end? Will it officially end 2 months from now?

In my opinion the best thing would be tell your new employee directly the situation you are in. Be honest and straight forward. That will give a good impression about you to your new employee and also will solve the problem for you.
