Pep Guardiola started his new season at the helm of Manchester City with a convincing 2-0 win over Chelsea this Sunday in the Premier League. However, at the Etihad Stadium, the future of the Spanish coach is raising questions, with his contract expiring next June.
Comments made by Guardiola last July, when he was being courted by the Football Association for the job of manager, have fuelled speculation about a possible departure from City. He said:“At the end of the season I need a break, but after that my batteries are recharged and I have the same energy going into the competition.”
City wants to see more clearly
In this context of uncertainty, Sky Sports reports that the Skyblues management wants to clarify the situation of their iconic coach. The Mancunian leaders would have asked the Catalan to inform them of his intentions before the end of year holidays.
The aim of the Citizens’ club officials is clear: to ensure that if Guardiola decides not to extend his eight-year spell on the banks of the Irwell, they will have enough time to find a successor capable of taking the reins of the team.
