Rabat – Pep Guardiola made it clear at Friday’s press conference that he’s not thinking about stepping away from coaching anytime soon. “In 2035, I’ll start thinking about it,” he said.
Guardiola has been in charge of Manchester City since July 2016. “My job at City is not finished. That’s why I’m here” he said. “The same thing happened to me at Barcelona and Bayern, if I had a problem, I would step aside. But here, I haven’t had one.”
He added that Manchester City are improving compared to last season. “We’re doing things much better than last season. We’re improving in every game. My players and I have the energy to have an even better season than the last one.”
Guardiola also spoke about the rule stopping Jack Grealish, on loan at Everton, from playing against City. “Those are the rules,” he said. “When I’m CEO or president of a major institution in England, maybe I’ll change it. If he played, it would be fine, but I have no opinion.”
The 54-year-old coach praised Grealish’s form since his transfer from City to Everton.
“The impact he’s had from day one has been very big. He’s getting the minutes he wanted. He’s a great person and he’s back in the real business of playing every game. With us, he didn’t play for various reasons,” he said.
Guardiola took over as Manchester City manager in July 2016, coming from Bayern Munich. Since then, he has managed over 540 matches, winning 382, drawing 79, and losing 82, with his teams scoring more than 1,300 goals.
Under his leadership, City has won 18 major trophies, including six Premier League titles, and multiple FA Cups, League Cups, and brought Manchester City the first UEFA Champions League title in their history in 2023.
The Spaniard became the fastest manager to reach 300 wins with the club, achieving this in just 413 games
