The question is therefore: when will he have enough of this hellish daily life and this incessant pressure? During the fall of 2024, he decided to extend his contract until June 2027. We will be there in fifteen months. But will he honor it to the end or leave prematurely, as his former great rival Jürgen Klopp did?
Four decisive matches
In this sense, the coming month promises to be decisive. First with this Carabao Cup final against Arsenal, which would allow him to obtain a trophy but also to score on his rival for the Premier League title. “Winning obviously helps, but you can win on Sunday and end up bad in the championship, or the opposite is just as possible.”nevertheless puts the Catalan into perspective.
The future is bright and we will be back next season.
The rest is an FA Cup quarter-final against Liverpool (04/04) then two decisive matches in the league: Chelsea (04/12) and Arsenal (04/19). “The FA Cup is still underway and the championship is not over. We will do everything to fight and make the right decisions for next season.”warned Guardiola, who is therefore planning towards 2026-2027.
“The future is bright and we will be back next seasonhe said after the elimination in the Champions League, rejoicing at the potential of his recently renewed group. I see a lot of good players and a lot of good things.”
Guardiola’s funny advice to his players: “I told them to drink lots of caipirinhas and daiquiris”
What seems certain, however, is that it should not continue beyond June 2027. “I’m going to leave after this stage with City, because I need to stop and focus on myself”launched the 55-year-old coach last summer to QG magazine.
At the same time, his succession can therefore begin to be prepared. But management will have to find a candidate capable of assuming this heavy responsibility. Pep Guardiola would like Vincent Kompany, even if his contract at Bayern now runs until 2029. Michel, stationed at Girona, is on the other hand ready to apply. Like Enzo Maresca or Cesc Fabregas…
