The future of Pep Guardiola is a true unknown. His contract with Manchester City expires in June, and after his latest renewal he stated that he had no intention of extending it ever again. In other words, seven years after his arrival in England, he may end up leaving, despite the fact that he has always claimed that he feels very comfortable there, both for himself and his family. And he hopes to say goodbye in style, winning titles
Something he’s done pretty much since day one. At the moment, they are second in the Premier League , five points behind Mikel Arteta ‘s Arsenal , a distance they hope to overcome. Although the big goal will be, finally, to win the Champions League, after coming very close in the last two campaigns, falling in the final against Chelsea, and in the semi-finals against Real Madrid in an incredible way, with a historical comeback
For now, the one from Santpedor will have a month off, since almost all of its players are in the World Cup in Qatar.
And he will take advantage of this time to travel to the Asian country, and be able to watch some matches. As a curiosity, he was residing there for a couple of years, during which he was defending the colors of Al-Ahli, when he was still a professional footballer. And he will also meet with some managers of the ‘skyblue’ group
Their intention is to convince Guardiola to stay at the Etihad Stadium, and they would offer him a new irrefutable contract . However, it seems complicated that they can convince the ex-Barça and Bayern Munich man, who is a man of his word, and would be looking for a new challenge. And among the options he is studying is that of taking a sabbatical, as he did when he left the Camp Nou
Although, as is clear, he does not lack offers. In particular, there is one that seduces him a lot, and that would allow him to fulfill one of his dreams, which is to become a selector
The Brazilian Federation loves Guardiola as Tite’s successor
And the fact is that the Brazilian Federation is once again tempting Guardiola, so that he can assume control of a squad full of great world stars. Regardless of what happens in Qatar, he is determined that Tite will not remain on the bench, and will leave his post in January
This means having to find a replacement, and this is where the City coach has appeared, to whom they would pay whatever was necessary
