At the helm of Manchester City since 2016, Pep Guardiola has established himself as the best coach in the world. And while everything is going well for him and for the Manchester team, some attest that his future is up in the air in the north of England.
Interviewed by Italian television during the show Che Tempo Che Fa, the Catalan technician kept the uncertainty surrounding his future across the Channel.
Wherever he goes, Pep Guardiola wins. Whether at FC Barcelona, Bayern Munich or Manchester City, Pep Guardiola has been at the heart of great periods of success. Since 2016, the Catalan coach has transformed Manchester City. Despite the ambitious project started a few years ago by an Emirati investment fund, the Manchester club has needed the mastery of the 53-year-old coach to win every title imaginable. A great success for the Spaniard who is enjoying the longest tenure of his career on a bench with the English team.
Still considered favorites this season in all the competitions in which they are involved, the residents of the Etihad Stadium can face the future with confidence. However, for several months, rumors have been circulating about a possible end to the adventure between Pep Guardiola and Manchester City. Invited by Italian television this Monday evening, the former midfielder inevitably returned to these sometimes unfounded rumors, which have nevertheless tended to intensify in recent months.
Pep Guardiola maintains the mystery surrounding his future at Manchester City
In recent days, the departure of Txiki Begiristain, the Manchester club’s football director for over 10 years, has given food for thought to those who attest that the end of Pep Guardiola’s adventure at Manchester City is near.

Laconic conclusions that will inevitably keep discussions going on Pep Guardiola’s future. As a reminder, his contract with the Cityzens ends at the end of the season. While some English media outlets are reporting negotiations for an extension, this is still in its infancy at the time of writing. A decision will inevitably be made in the coming months…
