Last season was very difficult for Manchester City fans inside and outside the city and even inside and outside Europe. After the team was for a long time one of the best in Europe and even the best team in England for many years, the English team, with Spanish coach Pep Guardiola, suffered from major technical stumbling that caused them to decline significantly last season and they qualified with difficulty for the Champions League next season.

One last try!

Although Pep Guardiola hinted last season that he might want to take a break from coaching and then consider coaching national teams, in November 2024 he agreed to renew his contract for an additional season with Manchester City, which put him under additional pressure. Now, no one really knows what his fate with the Sky Blues will be, as the Barcelona-born coach has not made any final decisions regarding his future.

In one of his last statements, the Spanish coach confirmed that he was grateful for the difficult experience he had last season because it had taught him many lessons about life and his profession as well.

Pep Guardiola: “I’m glad I failed. I love people who fail. In this society where everything has to be perfect, where you have to post your food on Instagram… ‘Oh, look how great, how happy I am.’ Every day we’re expected to prove we’re happy. Of course I’m sad; I fail, I lose.

What did Pep Guardiola say about his future with Manchester City?

In a recent interview with GQ Hype Magazine, Spanish coach Pep Guardiola spoke about his future with the Sky Blues, saying:

I know that after this spell with City I'm going to stop, that's for sure, it's decided, more than decided. I don't know how long I'll stop for, a year, two years, three years, five, ten, fifteen, I don't know. But I'm going to stop after this spell with City, because I need to stop and focus on myself, on my body.

In Catalan, they say badar. Badar, badar, badar... I want to do this, simply stop and watch the cows go by when the train goes by. My grandfather used to say, you look at me like cows watch the train go by. Well, that's it, you have to stop and watch it go by. And then life... I had never thought that I would coach, that I would go to Germany to coach, to England, and be the coach of Barcelona, or that I would play for Barcelona.
