Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has indicated that he is “closer to leaving than staying” with the Premier League champions. Speaking after City’s 3-1 victory over West Ham on Sunday, which secured their fourth consecutive league title, Guardiola revealed uncertainties about his future.
Having led City to six English top-flight titles, the former Barcelona and Bayern Munich boss has one year remaining on his contract at the Etihad Stadium. Despite his success, Guardiola has not yet made a definitive decision about his tenure.
“The reality is, I’m closer to leaving than to staying,” he told Sky Sports. “It’s been eight years; it will be nine. Right now, my feeling is I want to stay next season. We’ve talked with the club, and we have time to discuss things next season because I need to see how the players feel as well; if they follow me, they follow us.”
Guardiola’s comments have sparked speculation about the future direction of Manchester City, with fans and analysts keenly watching for further developments.
