Pep Guardiola has strongly hinted about his future at Manchester City.

Pep Guardiola has provided another significant indication about his future at Manchester City. The Spanish coach, who has been at the helm since 2016, led the club to an unprecedented treble last season.

Despite the numerous achievements of Guardiola’s City, doubts have emerged regarding his future due to financial charges faced by the club. City is facing 115 breaches of the Premier League’s financial regulations, including allegations of inflating sponsorship deals and non-cooperation with investigations. City has refuted these allegations.

Guardiola’s current contract is due to expire in 2025, but he has recently suggested that he might prolong his tenure with the reigning Premier League champions.

Speaking to reporters ahead of City’s Premier League match against Burnley, Guardiola stated: “I still feel good [at City] and one day it will come to an end, but I’m not focusing on that right now.

“I’ve said many times, I have everything a manager could wish for [at City]. I have everything. The club’s hierarchy supports me, the players support me, and we have a positive environment.”

According to The Athletic, if Manchester City were to face relegation as a result of the ongoing financial allegations, there is a belief among some figures at the club that Guardiola would sign a new contract as an act of defiance.

Guardiola’s previous contract was initially set to expire last summer, but in November 2022, he ended speculation by signing a two-year extension.

The recent announcements of Jurgen Klopp and Xavi Hernandez leaving their managerial positions at Liverpool and Barcelona respectively have underscored the strain and pressure experienced by coaches.

While both Klopp and Xavi cited exhaustion as reasons for stepping away from their managerial roles, Guardiola stated in November that he still possesses plenty of energy despite managing Manchester City for over seven years.
