Guardiola makes decision on Man City future after ‘insane’ six EPL titles
Pep Guardiola has said he has intention to leave Man City after winning a fourth consecutive Premier League title, and sixth in seven years, on Sunday.
Phil Foden scored twice as City beat West Ham 3-1 at the Etihad to edge out Arsenal by two points and deny the Gunners a first league title in 20 years.
“When I moved here if someone had said I would win six leagues in seven seasons I would say you’re insane – no way,” said Guardiola.
“All these players for Manchester United and Liverpool and Chelsea, all these teams. Now is our period. We are part of that,” added the 53-year-old.
Guardiola has now won 15 major trophies in eight seasons as Man City manager and could add another in the FA Cup final next weekend.
The Catalan has a contract at the Etihad until 2025 and said he intends to see out at least one more year in Man City.
“The reality is I am closer to leaving than staying after eight years. We have talked with the club — my feeling is that I want to stay now. I will stay next season and during the season we will talk.”
Pep Guardiola, the esteemed manager of Manchester City, has subtly hinted at the possibility of his departure from the club following his historic achievement of securing a record fourth Premier League title.
After guiding City to their sixth Premier League triumph within a span of eight years, Guardiola conveyed a sense of uncertainty regarding his future tenure at the helm, according to Goal.
In an interview with Sky Sports, the Catalan tactician revealed that while discussions with the club have taken place, his inclination leans towards a potential departure once his current contract expires after the upcoming season.
Guardiola’s remarks reflect a contemplative stance, acknowledging the passage of time and the inevitability of change in his managerial journey.
Despite expressing a desire to remain at City for the immediate future, he conveys a sense of openness towards exploring other opportunities beyond the confines of the Etihad Stadium.
The prospect of departing after nearly a decade of managerial brilliance underscores the complexity of his decision-making process, suggesting that factors beyond mere success on the pitch influence his ultimate choice.
While Guardiola’s commitment to leading City for the forthcoming season remains unwavering, his long-term plans remain subject to further deliberation and negotiation.
As he embarks on yet another campaign with the club, the footballing world awaits with bated breath to witness the unfolding of Guardiola’s managerial saga, which may culminate in a momentous departure or a continuation of his storied tenure at Manchester City.
