‘He’s staying ‘, ‘There’s no way he doesn’t sign’ – Man City fans react as Pep Guardiola future update emerges

Manchester City fans have been reacting to a post on Twitter which relays an update on Pep Guardiola future as doubts continue to emerge if the former Barcelona and Bayern Munich boss will renew his contract or move on.

The 51 year-old is contracted at the Etihad Stadium until 2023 and having won four of the last Premier League titles there is nobody in the club hierarchy who is looking for him to move on.

Since his appointment in 2016, Guardiola has extended his stay with the reigning Premier League Champions on two occasions, firstly in 2018 and again in 2020.

While the manager has said he will not betray the club when he makes a decision, he has also suggested that he could run down his contract before announcing his next move.

The summer’s recruitment bringing in youthful and exciting talent into the club would suggest that Pep Guardiola only has his eyes on extending. However, until pen is put to paper, doubts will continue to swirl among supporters.

According to Rob Dawson of ESPN, no one at Manchester City is ‘panicking’ about Pep Guardiola’s future as manager of the reigning Premier League champions.

However, it is reported that there is an acceptance at the Etihad Stadium that it will not be long before questions begin to start up again.

The report was shared on Twitter by City Xtra and it attracted plenty of attention from the club’s supporters.

“The extensions done IMO, they just won’t announce it until during or after the WC. Keep the players focussed, everything will come out in it’s own time”

“Pep will stay as long as he has the energy and is happy. Pointless speculating differently. Eventually he will want a break. Which is understandable. If City win the Champions League League that will probably signal his departure.”
