Pep Guardiola’s future has been on everyone’s lips in England for the past few days. With one year left on his contract at Manchester City, the Spanish coach has clearly hinted that he could soon leave the English champions. When exactly? The suspense remains, with the Catalan wanting to keep as many doors open as possible.
“I’ve been at Manchester City for eight years. I won’t be here for another eight years. So I’m closer to leaving than staying. But I didn’t say I was leaving!he said at a press conference. When I leave, I will say that I am leaving. But I did not say it. It may not be correct but that is my feeling at the time.
Pep Guardiola: “I would love to stay but…”
Courted in particular by the English Federation, Pep Guardiola does not rule out a return for a season on the Sky Blues bench.
“We spoke with the club and we said that it’s been a lot of years, so we’ll see what happens. But I would absolutely not rule out the idea of extending. I would love to stay.”added the Spaniard.
And the former Barça coach continued: “Nine years at the same club, today, is an eternity and I want to be sure that it is the right decision, not only for me, but for the club and the players, so that they continue to run as they have done for eight years, no matter the competition. That’s what I have to see. And that’s it.”
