Manchester City drew 1-1 with Bournemouth on Tuesday, a result that confirmed Arsenal as Premier League champions with a game remaining. The draw effectively ended City's hopes of retaining the title.
In the aftermath, Pep Guardiola was asked about his future, with reports suggesting he could leave at the end of the season after a decade in charge. The City manager insisted no final decision has been made, despite speculation linking Enzo Maresca to the role.
Guardiola told Sky Sports he still has a year left on his contract and that any announcement would be made only after speaking with the club's chairman. He said it would be a "bad, bad result" to announce anything during the competition.
Former City defender Micah Richards offered a different view, saying Guardiola's demeanour suggested he is leaving. Richards said when Guardiola wants to stay he simply says so, and the fact he is talking about a conversation with the chairman indicates an exit.
Guardiola also referenced the team's recent schedule and the upcoming FA Cup final, while promising City would return stronger next season. "Next season, we will be back. City will be back. We will be competing to the end," he said.
