Pep Guardiola has opened up about his future at Manchester City as speculation continues to mount over his future at the club.
Since becoming manager of Manchester City in 2016, Pep Guardiola has established himself as one of the greatest managers of all time as he has led the Citizens to six Premier League titles and the Champions League in 2023.
The rumours over Guardiola’s future went into overdrive when the Spaniard seemed to hint that this upcoming season could well be his last at the club.
City are going for their fifth Premier League title in a row and Guardiola has had his say on his future.
Guardiola opens up on Man City future
In the aftermath of City’s historic fourth successive Premier League title success, Guardiola raised doubts over his own future when he said he was “closer to leaving than staying”.
The Spaniard has just one year remaining on his contract at the Etihad Stadium so a decision will have to be made on his future sooner rather than later.
Speaking to the BBC about his future, Guardiola said: “I didn’t say I was leaving.
“Nine years at the same club is an eternity. I don’t rule out extending the contract. I want to be sure it is the right decision for the club and the players.
“When I decide, I will talk with my CEO and sporting director. But I want to start the season, and look at how everything is going and how connected we are. After, we will see.”
Guardiola’s decision set to have a knock on effect
The Spaniard’s decision could well have a big say on the future of multiple first team players including Kevin De Bruyne.
HITC has reported that De Bruyne is prepared to see out the final year of his contract at City before making a decision on his future amid interest from Saudi Arabia.
You wonder if the Belgian’s future depends on Guardiola’s future with the Spaniard labelling De Bruyne as a ‘legend‘.
Guardiola clearly has a big impact on his players with Jack Grealish keen to praise the former Barcelona manager for his man management skills.
