Pep Guardiola, Manchester City coach, confirmed that he does not have a date to decide his future and stated that the club has options for when he leaves.
The Spanish coach ends his contract next June and has not yet decided whether to renew or leave after nine seasons in which he has won everything, including six Premier Leagues, four of them consecutive, and the first Champions League in the club’s history. .
If they ask me for an opinion on my successor, I will give it to them, but it doesn’t have to be decided by me, it has to be the club.”
“The club has never told me anything (about when it has to decide its future),” Guardiola said at a press conference this Friday.
“Of course I’m sure they have options for when I leave. It will happen sooner or later and you have to be prepared. It won’t be a surprise. I have to be truly convinced that it will be the best for the club. I will not delay any decision if I think it will be bad for the club. And if they ask me for an opinion on my successor, I will give it to them, but it doesn’t have to be decided by me, it has to be the club,” Guardiola added.
I haven’t decided yet, when I make a decision I will let you know.”
The Catalan, who has never hidden his desire to coach a national team, was among the candidates to succeed Gareth Southgate in England, and, given the hiring of Thomas Tuchel, who had greater availability as he could join in January, his options continue at least one more season at City are older.
However, and despite facing the same question about his future several times at a press conference, Guardiola did not reveal anything. “I haven’t decided yet, when I make a decision I will let you know.”
