‘Football changes’: Guardiola dismisses Man City exit talk

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has dismissed speculation over his future at the Premier League club.

Guardiola said contract talks are not on the agenda despite rumours he could leave at the end of the season.

While City, who host lowly West Ham United on Saturday, could overtake Arsenal for top spot in the Premier League this weekend, the Spaniard’s job status was the hot topic at his pre-game press conference on Friday.

He said: “I always get asked this question, so sooner or later I will quit Manchester City.

“I have 18 months, so I’m so happy with the development of the team. That question is there every single season at some point. Whatever is going to happen will happen.

“They are not discussions. End of the subject. I will not be here forever. What is going to happen will happen. The club must be prepared but that subject is not on the table right now.”

Reports linked Enzo Maresca as a potential successor, although the Chelsea manager dismissed them earlier on Friday.

When pressed again on whether he will be at City next season, an annoyed Guardiola said: “I answered that question two questions before. I am here. What’s going to happen, who knows?

“Even if I have 10-year contract or six months, football changes a lot. Now I am focusing on West Ham and then golf after a few days with my dad and that is all.”
