At a press conference this Monday, the coach was asked about the possibility of extending his contract with the team, which runs until June 2025. Simply put, he responded.
“Yes, I have energy. Yes. I’m ok”, he declared.
The journalist insisted on the topic in search of greater certainty from the Spanish coach, and Guardiola then avoided it.
“I’m not going to answer that, I don’t know. In football, I said it several times… Well, yes, of course (it’s a possibility). But you can leave tomorrow. So, a year and a half is a long time in football” , declared the coach.

It is worth remembering that last Friday, the coach reiterated that he will coach the team “even in the fifth division”, given the possibility of punishment due to violations of the Premier League’s Financial Fair Play.
As a result, Guardiola signed his current contract with City in November last year. At Barcelona, he stayed for four years. At Bayern, there were only three seasons. The coach joked about his long period at the helm of the English team.
“I came here with long hair, look what happened now. Eight years ago…”, joked Guardiola.
At 52 years old, the Spanish coach has 15 titles with Manchester City, including five Premier League cups and last season’s Champions League. In December, he will attempt his 16th victory, with the FIFA Club World Cup, an unprecedented cup for the club.
This Tuesday (28), the club hosts RB Leipzig in the penultimate round of Group G of the continental tournament and, with a draw, guarantees the leadership of the group.
