Manchester City boss offered quite a surprising response when asked about his future with the club
Pep Guardiola has provided a bombshell update on his future after Manchester City's title celebration. The 53-year-old Spaniard led his side to a 3-1 win over West Ham at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday afternoon for a fourth successive Premier League title.
Speaking to Sky Sports after the game, Guardiola was quizzed on his future in light of Jurgen Klopp's departure from Liverpool.
The Spaniard said:
"The reality is I am closer to leaving than staying. It's eight years, will be nine. Right now, my feeling is I am staying next season.
"We talk with the club, we have time to talk next season because I have to see the players as well. If they follow me, they follow us... for many reasons. I will stay. During the season we will talk."
The greatest ever.
