Difficult week for Pep Guardiola and Manchester City. While the players learned through the English press of the departure of their coach at the end of the season, the club then lost the Premier League to Arsenal after the draw conceded on the Bournemouth pitch this Tuesday evening (1-1).
At the end of the meeting, the Spanish tactician took the opportunity to speak publicly about the persistent rumors concerning his future. “You understand that the first person I have to talk to is my president”he first recalled on the microphone of Sky Sports.
“Once the season is over, the two of us will sit down, we will talk, and then we will make a decision. It’s that simple”he added, without denying a departure nor confirming it.
Pep Guardiola in the dark
A few minutes later, in a post-match press conference, Pep Guardiola even looked ahead to the Cityzens’ upcoming deadlines. “Next season we will be back. City will be back. We will be in contention until the end in the competitions. »
In the event of departure, ten years after his arrival, Enzo Maresca is the favorite. A name well known to supporters, given that the former Chelsea tactician, winner of the Conference League and the FIFA Club World Cup last summer, had been Guardiola’s deputy in Manchester during the 2022-2023 season.
