Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has insisted that the FA Cup final will not be his last visit to Wembley. This comes as speculations surrounding the Spaniard’s future continue to grow, and fans have been reacting.
Asked at a news conference whether Saturday would be his last visit to Wembley with City, Guardiola simply laughed off the suggestion.
Bragging about winning 19 titles in one decade, Pep added that he still has one more year on his City contract.
His words, “No way. No way — I have one more year contract.
[Fans] don’t need to wait when I’m leaving, they know I’ve been … I’ve been fun. I’ve been fun. Nineteen titles in 10 years is not bad.
So, 19 titles, fighting for the 20 in 10 years, it’s not bad, honestly.
I’m so disappointed in English football, they don’t make a stand to Pep.
So many times I’ve been there, at least a lounge or a box or something like that. Maybe I have to go 24 more times.
It’s been a special place, with Barcelona in 1992 and after against United with Barcelona and many times since with semifinals and finals. It’s really good to go to Wembley again. Top.”
WOW.
Pep Guardiola Sala is a Spanish professional football manager and former player who is currently managing Premier League club Manchester City. Guardiola is the only manager to win the continental treble twice, the youngest to win the UEFA Champions League, and he also holds the records for the most consecutive league games won in La Liga, the Bundesliga, and the Premier League. He is considered to be one of the greatest managers of all time.
Guardiola has played for and advocated on behalf of the Catalonia football team. Between 1995 and 2005, he played seven friendly games for Catalonia.
Under Guardiola’s predecessor Frank Rijkaard, Barcelona were known for a 4–3–3 with plenty of flair with Ronaldinho being the centre point of the attack. Under Guardiola, however, the team became more disciplined with a greater focus on possession and a disciplined and aggressive pressing style.
Guardiola was born to Dolors and Valentí. He has two older sisters and a younger brother, Pere, a football agent. He is an atheist. Guardiola met his wife Cristina Serra when he was 18. They married on 29 May 2014.
