Pep Guardiola reveals exactly when he’ll decide on his future leaving Man City in a tricky situation

Pep Guardiola’s contract at Manchester City is set to expire at the end of the 24/25 season.

There has been an update on when Pep Guardiola will decide his future as Manchester City manager.

Back in 2016, it was confirmed that Guardiola would replace Manuel Pellegrini as City manager.

 

 

Since then, Guardiola has led City to six Premier League titles, four League Cups, two FA Cups, two FA Community Shields, one Champions League, one UEFA Super Cup and one FIFA Club World Cup.

 

With his contract set to expire at the end of the 24/25 season, there are growing concerns regarding Guardiola’s future as City boss.

 

As reported by The Guardian, the 53-year-old is set to make a decision on his future between December and February, just months before his contract is due to expire.

 

Back in May, Guardiola said: “Even myself, I couldn’t expect to stay here eight years, but everything goes well.”

 

Speaking last month, City chairman Khaldoon al-Mubarak said: “We have had this conversation many times before, you know that, over the years of the contract.

 

“Pep has always been fully committed to this club, fully committed to every contract that he has signed with us.”

He added: “This decision on his future is always a decision that we will take together, and I have no doubt that we will find, as always, we have done, the right solution that works for Pep and works for us.

 

“It’s hard to put into words what Pep has given this organisation, this club. You can look at just records, for history’s sake and there I think he’s racked up every record, almost, in the book. And these are records that I think will be very, very hard in the future to ever break. From winning six out of the last seven Premier Leagues to winning four in a row, to the number of wins, the records go on and on and on.

 

“I think what his impact has been on football. English football has changed with the evolution to the type of football that Pep has brought into the league.”

 

 

 

 

No sooner has the European Championship concluded than Man City have advanced in talks for one of Spain’s exciting forward talents.

 

Pep Guardiola will be looking to achieve an unprecedented fifth Premier League title in a row in 2024/25, and in order to do so, a freshening up of his incredible squad is a necessity.

 

That City, like Pep’s Bayern and Barca before them, are strengthening whilst they’re at the top of their game says much about the right way to go about securing the evolution of a winning team.

 

Despite ostensibly being the best club side in the world, Guardiola will not settle in his quest for absolute footballing perfection.

 

City’s players, some of the best in their position across the globe, therefore can’t settle and get comfortable as there’s always someone champing at the bit to replace them.

 

We only need look at how difficult things have been lately for £100m signing, Jack Grealish, to get an idea as to the standards that Guardiola demands week in and week out.

 

Man City advancing in Dani Olmo talks

If Dani Olmo signs on at the Etihad Stadium, he’ll understand what’s required from the get go, and Football Insider suggest that City are in advanced talks with the player.

 

The Premier League champions will need to get a move on if they want to land him with the minimum of fuss, however.

 

 

??? Key detail on Dani Olmo: following Spain access to Euro 2024 final, the release clause will be valid until July 20 and no longer July 15.

 

There was this specific factor on the clause due to the Euros, now formally approved.

His release clause was believed to end the day after the European Championship final, though it’s understood that there has been a short extension until July 20.

 

If nothing has been agreed by that date, then City will have to enter into difficult negotiations with RB Leipzig and arguably at a much higher price than his current reported (Mirror) £50m release fee.
