Manchester City manager, Pep Guardiola is keeping his cards close to his chest regarding his future at the club. He recently provided cryptic responses about his City future, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, he only remembers saying after staying at City for 8 years, he is currently closer to leaving than staying, but he never said he is leaving for sure.
Pep added that he would definitely not be with the English champions for eight more years.
His words, “When I’m leaving, I will say I’m leaving, but I didn’t say that. We will see what happens. But I will not rule it out absolutely to extend my contract. I would love to stay because I would love to stay. [I was] saying that I [had] been eight years in Man City. So I’m not here for eight more years. So that’s why I’m closer to leaving than staying. But I didn’t say I’m leaving!”
On his players, “Still they run like they ran for eight years, it doesn’t matter the competition, it doesn’t matter the tournament.
It’s good to refresh, for players and managers. At the same time, we have had success and are still winning Premier Leagues and we are playing competitions like the Champions League. This is my feeling right now.”
WOW.
