‘He’s staying’ – Man City fans react as Pep Guardiola drops strongest hint yet over his future

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has dropped his strongest hint yet that he will be in charge at The Etihad next season.

Guardiola, who has guided City to four Premier League titles, four League Cups and the FA Cup, will be out of contract in 2023 and his future at the club remains unresolved.

The City boss was delighted about the way his team ground out a victory despite playing with 10 men for over an hour following Joao Cancello’s red card.

Guardiola has always said that he will stay at the Etihad as long as his players continue to believe in his methods and fight for the City cause.

And he said: “Your emotions as a manager, after seven years here, you always have doubts whether the people will still follow you or are tired.

“We have thousands of meetings and so many travels. But then you see today and you think ‘wow, still they want to do it and they are alive.

“It makes me so, so proud. Everyone was exceptional. We didn’t win the Premier League today, of course. But these moments, when you see the faces in the crowd, that make your job feel so good.”

These Guardiola’s comments were shared on Twitter by City Xtra and it attracted plenty of attention from the club’s supporters.

“Performances like that today will do far more to convince him to extend than a 3-0 stroll in the park. Absolutely superb today. ”
