Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola is approaching the end of his current contract with his tenure set to expire next summer. Earlier this year, Guardiola hinted that this season might be his last with the club, especially after leading City to their fourth consecutive Premier League title in May. This statement fuelled speculation about his departure from the Etihad.

However, during the pre-season tour in New York, Guardiola struck a different tone. Speaking ahead of the club’s friendly against AC Milan at Yankee Stadium, he opened up about his future with the team, suggesting he is open to continuing his stint with the Premier League champions.

His comments indicate a potential extension of his time at Manchester City, possibly extending his stay into a tenth year. This development provides a fresh perspective on Guardiola’s future with the club, leaving fans eagerly anticipating further updates.

Guardiola Open to Extending Man City Stay

The Manchester City manager has clarified his stance on his future with the club amid ongoing speculation about his contract, which is set to expire next summer.

Echoing on the same lines, he stated, “When I’m leaving, I will say I’m leaving, but I didn’t say that,” Guardiola, who has led City to six Premier League titles, two FA Cups, and a maiden Champions League among a host of honours, told reporters. He further added, “We will see what happens. But I will not rule it out absolutely to extend my contract. I would love to stay because I would love to stay,”

Guardiola reflected on his long tenure with the club, saying, “Nine years today in the same club is an eternity. So I want to be sure it’s the right decision. Not just for me, for the club, for the players.” He praised his team’s relentless drive, stating, “Still they run as they ran for eight years, it doesn’t matter the competition, it doesn’t matter the tournament and this is what I have to see.” However, he acknowledged the need for change in the long term. “I am sure eight more years I won’t stay! It’s good to refresh, for players and managers.”
