Pep Guardiola drops hint on Manchester City future

Pep Guardiola may have just dropped the biggest hint yet that he will remain at Manchester City next season.

The Catalan coach’s future at Eastlands has been the subject of speculation in recent months, with reports suggesting he could leave the club at the end of the season.

Xabi Alonso and Enzo Maresca are reportedly among the names City are considering as potential replacements for the manager, if and when he does depart.

Guardiola, however, has vowed that his team will be better next season, possibly intimating that he intends on being in the dugout next season.

“We have to defend better in some departments,” he said ahead of City’s FA Cup clash with Newcastle United on Saturday.

“Still, still, still, still we are not a complete team to compete, to be solid; that is the reality.

“We are in the process of many changes. We can learn quicker to make sure nothing is lost, to arrive in the last months with chances [to win something].

“But I’m pretty sure next season we’ll be better. I have no doubts about that.”
