Pep Guardiola has hinted at the possibility of extending his contract with Manchester City after the announcement of Jurgen Klopp’s departure from Liverpool. Klopp’s decision to leave at the end of the season, citing exhaustion, prompted speculation about Guardiola’s own future.
After witnessing his team’s 1-0 victory over Tottenham Hotspur in the FA Cup, Guardiola addressed questions about his energy levels and potential tenure at City. The Spaniard, whose current contract runs until 2025, expressed his well-being and mentioned a desire to continue for at least another year, possibly even longer.
Guardiola, 53, renewed his contract in November 2022, and if he stays until the end, his tenure at the Etihad Stadium would match Klopp’s nine years at Liverpool. Having secured 14 major titles during his time with City, Guardiola aims for history this season by guiding his team to a fourth consecutive Premier League title.
While the focus remains on reclaiming the three titles won last season, discussions about Guardiola’s future may unfold in the background. It is suggested that the club should actively work behind the scenes to retain Guardiola for an extended period, ensuring the potential for future contract negotiations.
