What Did Guardiola Say About His Future at Manchester City?

Guardiola stressed that he remains under contract and sees no reason to address rumours that are not grounded in fact.

“You want to fire me?! No, good. My salary is so high. So I have one more year on my contract. How can I give you an update about an opinion that I don't know about? It's just a rumour. So, I'm sorry, I'm not going to answer that.”

Focused on the Present
