The current contract of the Spanish head coach of the English Manchester City Josep Guardiola is coming to an end in the summer of 2027, but rumors have been spreading in England for more than a month that the deadline for the specialist’s departure from the club may fall as early as next summer.

The last interview of the 54-year-old driver warms up the atmosphere:

“The club must be prepared for the fact that one day they will have to choose my successor.

But Chiki and I talked about it before, because I’m a bit of a weird person. I might wake up one morning and say, “I’m going, bye-bye,” so the club has to be ready for that.

However, so far it has not come to this,” said Guardiola.

We will remind that Pep has been working at the head of the “townsmen” since 2016.
