Pep Guardiola confirmed he has no intention of leaving Manchester City despite rumors that he might depart after this season.
On 3 Jan 2026 GMT+7, Manchester City is preparing to face Chelsea in the 20th match of the 2025/26 Premier League season on Sunday, 4 Jan at 00:30 (early morning 5 Jan).
Currently, the "Sky Blues" remain in the Premier League title race, having played 19 matches with 41 points, just 4 points behind league leaders Arsenal.
However, rumors have circulated that Pep Guardiola, the Sky Blues' manager, might part ways with the club after this season, even though he still has a contract until summer 2027.
Pep affirmed that he is not considering leaving the club. With one year remaining on his contract, he emphasized that he is tired of addressing this topic repeatedly.
"I have a contract; I've said it a million times. I've been with the team for over 10 years. My salary is high, and I have no intention of moving to any other club. The rumors are just that—rumors."
"Someday, I'm sure I will leave, but not yet. I'm happy. I want to keep fighting with my team and the management, who respect me greatly."
