Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola hinted at a possible departure from the club after securing their fourth consecutive Premier League title with a 3-1 victory over West Ham United at the Etihad Stadium.
Guardiola, whose contract expires next summer, expressed uncertainty about his future, stating, "The reality is I am closer to leaving than staying. We have talked with the club – my feeling is that I want to stay now. I will stay next season and during the season we will talk. But [after] eight or nine years, we will see."
Reflecting on City's achievement, Guardiola highlighted their dominance in English football, emphasizing the significance of winning four titles in a row. He acknowledged the challenges ahead, including the upcoming FA Cup final against Manchester United.
City's remarkable feat surpasses the achievements of other English clubs, with Guardiola noting, "In terms of numbers, nobody has been better than us – the records, the goals, the points and four in a row."
Guardiola also commended Arsenal for their competitive spirit throughout the season, acknowledging their role in pushing City to perform at their best. He emphasized the need for City to make strategic decisions in the transfer window to maintain their competitiveness in the face of emerging challenges.
As Guardiola contemplates his future at Manchester City, the focus remains on the team's continued success and their pursuit of excellence in English football.
