News has emerged that English Premier League (EPL) fans will not like.
Guardiola’s future has been a matter of global interest since the 2023-2024 season. Although Guardiola’s contract with Manchester City expires after the 2024-2025 season, he has yet to decide whether to renew his contract or leave.
In the initial atmosphere, Guardiola was leaving Manchester City. Jack Goheon, a reporter with great credibility in Manchester City in the British Daily Mail, said in May, “Coach Guardiola is expected to leave Manchester City at the end of next season. Guardiola’s contract is only 12 months away,” adding that Manchester City internally expects to break up with Guardiola.
In response, even Manchester City owner Sheikh Mansour ordered Guardiola to be persuaded. Despite the active persuasion of the club leaders, Guardiola was in a position to make the decision alone. Asked about the renewal of his contract with Manchester City in July, Guardiola said, “We are not absolutely ruling out the extension of the contract. If I really want to stay, I will stay. I hope that the decision will be the right one for the club and the players,” adding that he is still agonizing over it.
As Guardiola agonized over his future, other temptations began to emerge. Last summer, the English Football Association also tried to talk to Guardiola as the successor of Gareth Southgate. The Brazilian Football Association also made attempts to bring in Guardiola. As options have increased in many ways, Guardiola has more time to agonize.
As time went by, Guardiola’s thoughts became stronger as he accompanied Manchester City. Britain’s The Athletic reported on the 8th (Korean time) that “decisively, Guardiola will stay in Manchester City for another year and try to manage the national team while preparing for the 2030 World Cup,” adding that Guardiola’s chances of staying in Manchester City have increased.
After a lot of consideration, Guardiola decided to stay at Manchester City. “Man City and Guardiola signed a one-year contract that includes a one-year extension. The deal was supposed to expire at the end of this season, but once the new contract is fulfilled, Guardiola will coach Manchester City for more than 10 years. An official announcement to confirm the renewal of the contract will follow soon,” The Athletic reported on Sunday.
Manchester City fans will cheer, but fans who support the remaining 19 EPL clubs will be depressed. This is because EPL has become a “야옹이 city” world since Guardiola took office in Manchester City in the 2016-2017 season.
Pep Guardiola has renewed his contract with Manchester City. It is a one-year contract renewal that includes a one-year extension. It is highly likely that PepsiCo’s era will continue in the future. An official announcement will be made soon.
Guardiola, who is spending his ninth season in the EPL, has won league titles except for two times so far. From the 2020-201 season, he won league titles for four consecutive times, achieving four consecutive league titles that even Alex Ferguson’s Manchester United failed to achieve.
Guardiola also won the UEFA Champions League, which was Manchester City’s long-cherished dream. During that season, Manchester City made a historic treble to prove to the world that it is reborn as a world-class club.
So far, Guardiola has collected 18 trophies from Manchester City. He is bringing more than two trophies every season.

Guardiola signed a one-year contract extension, but Guardiola’s future will once again be in the spotlight after the 2026 World Cup in North Korea and the U.S. Guardiola wants to lead the national team to the World Cup. The time Guardiola wants is the 2030 World Cup.
Guardiola will want to look at the 2030 World Cup right after the 2026 World Cup because he needs enough time to substitute his football.
