Pep Guardiola has dismissed reports suggesting this could be his final season as Manchester City manager, stating he is "delighted" and has 18 months left on his contract.
Guardiola, who signed an extension until 2027, emphasised that "no discussions" are currently taking place regarding his future, but admitted City “must be prepared for everything”.
He acknowledged that questions about his future arise every season but reiterated his strong connection with the club.
A report by The Athletic had indicated a growing feeling that Guardiola might leave, with Chelsea's Enzo Maresca listed as a potential successor.
Maresca, a former assistant to Guardiola, also dismissed the speculation linking him to the Manchester City job as "100 per cent speculation".
