Pep Guardiola leaves the elephant in the room alone following City’s draw with Bournemouth
Pep Guardiola leaves the elephant in the room alone following City’s draw with Bournemouth On Monday night, Oliver Holt reported for the Daily Mail that Pep Guardiola would leave his post as Manchester City manager at the end of this season. The news of Pep Guardiola’s imminent departure came ahead of Manchester City’s most important Premier League fixture of the season against Bournemouth last night. Manchester City’s bid to win this season’s Premier League title ended as they drew 1-1 with Bournemouth last night.
That result sees Arsenal crowned as Premier League champions. Following last night’s match, Guardiola wouldn’t be drawn into a discussion about his future. That isn’t a major surprise as it was highly unlikely that the Manchester City manager would announce his departure from the club he has dominated English football with at a post-game press conference.
Pep Guardiola avoided the elephant in the room last night despite it appearing inevitable that his time at Manchester City is almost at an end. Pep Guardiola reveals that he is set to sit down with the Manchester City hierarchy to discuss his future. It was inevitable last night that Pep Guardiola would in some way address his future.
Following Manchester City’s draw with Bournemouth, Guardiola revealed he is due to discuss his future with the hierarchy of the club. In quotes relayed by The Express , Guardiola said: “ I can say I have one year of my contract. With the conversations I’ve had for many, many years, always from my experience when you announce – whatever you announce – during the competition is a bad, bad result.
” “ The first person who I have to talk to is the chairman. Because we both decided when we finish the season we will sit and we will talk. It’s as simple as that.
