Pep Guardiola has insisted he will respect his Manchester City contract as speculation continues over how long he will stay at the Etihad Stadium.
The Catalan coach has been linked with the idea of stepping away in the summer of 2026, but he offered a clear message when asked about his future and the likelihood of leaving early.
“I have never broken a contract,” Guardiola said, stressing that he intends to honour the terms of his current deal with City.
Guardiola’s stance comes amid ongoing debate around his next move and whether he could eventually take on a different challenge. For now, he made it clear that any decision will be made within the boundaries of his agreement.
City have been led by Guardiola since 2016, with the club enjoying a long run of domestic success and major trophies during his time in charge. Despite questions about what comes next, his latest comments are aimed at calming talk of an impending exit.
While the discussion over 2026 continues, Guardiola’s message was simple: he is not planning to walk away from Manchester City while still under contract.
