Pep Guardiola dismissed concerns that uncertainty over his future could affect the players as he rejected the suggestion that there had been talks with Manchester City over a new deal. Guardiola is currently in his fifth season at a club for the first time in his career but will reach the end of his contract in eight months and has not decided whether or not to continue. City bosses have made it clear that they would like him to stay but the manager has said he still needs to earn the right to carry on and neither side have set a deadline for when a decision needs to be made.
Pep Guardiola said “I feel sure it’s bright. I go to London [for the West Ham game] – what is better than this? Absolutely not, they want to play good every single game, When they are on the pitch they do absolutely everything with one manager or another because they are incredibly professional and they want to do well. Nothing changes. Absolutely nothing.”
