I’ll Decide My Future At The End Of The Season – Pep Guardiola

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has said that a final decision regarding his long-term future at the Etihad Stadium will be made at the end of the season. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.

Following City’s failure to reclaim the Premier League title after a decisive draw vs Bournemouth handed Arsenal the crown, Pep remained coy about his next step, insisting that he is still the happiest man on the planet to be managing the club.

Guardiola concluded by congratulating Arsenal, Mikel Arteta and his players for winning the EPL after 22 years.

His words, “Listen, I have one more year of contract. I will not tell you [a decision] here because I have to talk with my chairman, with my players, with my staff because when we play for the FA Cup, qualification for the Champions League, the Premier League it’s just one thing in my mind and focus: Try to bring the team to the highest point. And it’s what we have done.

I could say that I have one more year of contract, and with the conversations I’ve had for many, many years, always from my experience when you announce – whatever you announce – during the competition is a bad, bad result.

And like you understand, the first person I have to talk to is my chairman [Khaldoon Al Mubarak], because we both decided when we finish the season we will sit and we will talk. And it’s as simple as that, and after we will take the decision.

On behalf of all Man City and my team, congratulations Arsenal, Mikel [Arteta], his staff, backroom staff, all the players, fans for this Premier League – they deserve it!

I’m the happiest man on the planet to be in this club! This club is just extraordinary! Of course, the season is over for us. We wanted to arrive in the last game with our fans [competing], but I know they will come because they’ve seen in 10 seasons really good in many, many moments.”

WOW.
