Guardiola Dismisses Exit Talk at Man City, Cites 'Unfinished Business' and 2035 Quip

The manager points to a contract through 2027, reflecting a shift from his summer vow to stop.

Overview

  • Pep Guardiola said he is not thinking about leaving Manchester City and described his work there as "completely unfinished business."
  • He joked he would only start to consider stepping away in 2035, with no announcement of any extension beyond 2027.
  • The comments followed public remarks from former analyst Carles Planchart suggesting he needed a break, which Guardiola downplayed.
  • Guardiola reiterated he would step aside if he ever became the problem and said his staff and new players have lifted his energy.
  • After a tougher 2024–25 campaign, he targeted improvement this season and his tenure stands at 18 trophies since 2016, including six Premier League titles and the 2023 Champions League.
