Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola dropped a fresh hint on his club future, indicating he may be willing to stay beyond the end of the season. Despite this, his future remains uncertain as he is in the final year of his contract.

Pep Guardiola is entering his final contract year at Manchester City and is likely to face strong efforts for an extended deal from top officials at the Etihad. The 52-year-old has led City since 2016, overseeing an era of dominance with six EPL titles, two FA Cups, four EFL Cups, one UCL title, and one Club World Cup. Although there are rumors he might seek new challenges, Guardiola is expected to make a decision by December.

The Manchester City board has been actively working to retain Guardiola until 2026. Moreover, the former Barcelona manager has insisted that he feels refreshed after the summer break and is ready to pursue a fifth consecutive EPL title. At a recent event in New York’s Rockefeller Center, the Spaniard expressed that he still enjoys his role as much as when he was first hired, offering reassurance to City fans about his potential contract extension.

Meanwhile, several reports have indicated that the Football Association (FA) of England is considering a bid for Guardiola as the Three Lions manager. The FA is prepared to wait until 2025, if needed, before appointing a permanent successor to Gareth Southgate.

Pep Guardiola sends message to Manchester City forward Jack Grealish, amid exit rumors

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola recently warned Jack Grealish, indicating that the club may not tolerate another poor season from him. The 28-year-old winger has experienced a mix of highs and lows during his time with the Cityzens.

The former Aston Villa star ended the 2023-24 season with just three goals in 36 appearances, making it his poorest at Manchester. After being left out of England’s Euro 2024 squad, Grealish is dedicating his time to improving his form. Additionally, following a lackluster season, Guardiola has warned him to raise his performance or risk losing his spot in the team.

The 28-year-old has frequently faced criticism for partying, which some believe has affected his performance. Despite this, Guardiola remains confident that the winger will return to form next season.
