Pep Guardiola's current contract with Manchester City runs until the summer of 2027. But if both he and the team remain motivated, the Spanish manager says he might stick around for two more seasons.
Guardiola recently extended his stay at the Etihad until 2027. Since taking charge in 2016, he's enjoyed a hugely successful spell, guiding the club to 15 major trophies — including six Premier League titles and a historic Champions League win.
When asked about his future and the possibility of retirement, Guardiola surprised many by hinting that he might not be done just yet.
“I still have two years left on my contract, but I could stay two more after that,” he said, as quoted by the Manchester Evening News. “When will I stop? It could be this year, in two years, or four. Right now, though, I’m feeling good.”
So, what’s keeping him going? Guardiola pointed to the hunger and drive he still sees in his squad.
“Since the Club World Cup in the U.S., the team has given me a new sense of energy. I’ve seen something I really like something we might’ve missed last season,” he explained.
“It’s in the training sessions, the body language, the little details. Being on time, how we defend throw-ins, those small but important things that show me this team still wants to compete. And that helps all of us be more consistent than we were last season.”
