Pep Guardiola breaks silence on his plan after his Man City contract
Pep Guardiola’s future after his tenure at Manchester City has long been a hot topic among football fans across the globe. Now, the City boss has finally shed light on his post-City plans—and it involves stepping away from the game, at least for a while.
When asked about his intentions once his contract expires at the end of next season, Guardiola confirmed that he plans to take a break from football. He said:
“After my contract with Manchester City, I’m going to stop. I’m sure. I don’t know if I’m going to retire, but I’ll take a break. How I want to be remembered, I don’t know. All coaches want to win so we can leave a mark, but fans of Barcelona, Bayern Munich, and Manchester City enjoyed watching my teams. We shouldn’t live thinking about how we’ll be remembered. When we die, our families cry for a few days, then life goes on—we’re forgotten. In a coach’s career, there are highs and lows. The good moments last longer in memory. What people think doesn’t matter much—our lives as footballers have been great. New challenges will come as a coach, and I don’t know what lies ahead, but in the end, that’s not what’s important.”
Guardiola’s Manchester City Journey
Pep Guardiola joined Manchester City in 2016, arriving from Bayern Munich on a three-year deal to begin the 2016–17 season. Since then, he has transformed the club into a dominant force, winning an impressive 18 trophies during his tenure.
As he prepares for his final season with the Cityzens, fans will be hoping he caps off his legendary stint with yet another memorable campaign.
