Not long ago, Guardiola said that he plans to complete his contract to lead Man City, which lasts until the summer of 2027.
This raises information about the Etihad club aiming for Enzo Maresca to replace him. In fact, Maresca used to be an assistant to Guardiola. Even, some sources say that Maresca had discussions with Man City before he recently left Chelsea.
With Maresca leaving Chelsea, rumors about the Italian strategist's next destination are increasingly reinforced. For his part, Guardiola showed sympathy when Maresca just lost his job.
He said: "The only thing I can say is that Chelsea, in my opinion, has lost a coach, a wonderful person.
But this is a decision from the Chelsea board, so I have nothing to say. That is not surprising in football either. That only further confirms how lucky I am to wear the Man City shirt. My club is extraordinary.
I have a contract. I have said this millions of times. I have been here for 10 years, one day I will leave but I still have a contract. I am very happy. I want to fight with my team.
The board respects me, which was proven last season based on what happened. We didn't win a single match in 2-3 months but the team still supported me.
I have a contract for another year. I want to stay here, so let's wait and see, and you will see.
In fact, Chelsea will be Man City's next opponent in the Premier League. Although he just parted ways with Maresca, Guardiola is still very cautious when facing this team.
He shared: "We don't know who will sit in the coach position at Chelsea, so we won't be able to say much, because we don't know what the opponent will do. We only think about ourselves, about what needs to be done.
That will help us in the two difficult upcoming matches against Chelsea and Brighton. Facing Chelsea is always a very good match. The English Premier League always has potential risks in every match.
The Man City vs Chelsea match will take place at 0:30 on January 5th. The Etihad Stadium team needs a victory to chase Arsenal, especially after they were held to a draw by Sunderland last round.
