Pep Guardiola has stated that he has not yet made a decision on his future at Manchester City, amid reports he plans to leave the club after ten years. The Catalan manager refused to comment before Tuesday night's 1-1 draw with Bournemouth, which ended City's hopes of a seventh Premier League title under his tenure.
Speaking post-match, Guardiola confirmed he is under contract until June 2027 and will hold talks with chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak next week. “The first person I have to talk to is my chairman because we decided when we finish the season we will sit and we will talk,” he told Sky Sports. “After we will take the decision.”
Reports have emerged that former Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca, who previously served on Guardiola’s coaching staff, is being lined up as a potential successor. Guardiola, however, remained focused on the remainder of the season, including the FA Cup and Champions League qualification.
The 55-year-old also congratulated Arsenal and his former colleague Mikel Arteta on winning the league title this season. “On behalf of all Manchester City and my team, congratulations Arsenal, Mikel, his staff and all the players,” he added.
