JAKARTA Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has not been tempted to leave his club at this time. In fact, he is ready to lead the team to close this season with a treble winner (three titles).
Guardiola has previously been rumored to be leaving City this summer had he been the second manager in the history of English football to win three major trophies in a season.
However, the Spanish tactician dismissed the rumors. He said he would honor the remaining two-year contract with the club based at the Etihad Stadium.
"Right now I'm not thinking about leaving, but who knows? However, I don't think about leaving the club. I want to continue here next season regardless of results," he said.
Guardiola successfully led City to defend the Premier League title after struggling to overturn Arsenal. In addition, the tactician has a chance to add two other big titles.
The two titles are the European Champions League and the FA Cup. In the Champions League, The Citizen will face Italian giants Inter Milan, while in the FA Cup final they will meet city rivals Manchester City.
"But I don't know what I'm going to feel, win or lose in the two chances that lie ahead of us. My feeling is that I have a contract, and when I sign it, I want to respect the club," said Guardiola.
Guardiola has presented 12 trophies consisting of five Premier League trophies, four FA Cup trophies, two Community Shield trophies, and one FA Cup trophy, since training City from 2016.
The Champions League is the only trophy he has not managed to get with The Citizen. But this season, the opportunity to make it happen is now wide open after they qualify for the final round.
