Pep Guardiola has developed quite the knack of shutting down — just about — questions about his Manchester City future.And they are coming thick and fast. After City clinched the 20th trophy of his 10-year reign by beating Chelsea in the FA Cup final on Saturday, UK broadcaster TNT Sports asked him, or rather told him, that he simply cannot be leaving.“There have been a lot of rumours that you’re leaving. You’re not, are you?,” it was put to him.Guardiola looked puzzled. “Rumours?,” he replied.He then made a hasty exit. “Have a lovely evening,” he smiled, as he slipped away.It was a similar story on Friday, when it was put to him that the following day’s cup final would be his final trip to Wembley as City manager. “One more year of contract,” he said with such a cheeky, enigmatic demeanour that it felt like he was toying with everybody. He got up and left as he delivered it.Speak to people in football, and the sense is there is a real possibility that this is going to be the final week of Guardiola’s decorated decade in Manchester. He is going into it as you might expect: focusing on the next game, as City need to travel to Bournemouth on Tuesday and win to keep the Premier League title race alive until its final day next Sunday.He said his players will not be allowed even one beer on Saturday evening, and that they should save their celebrations for a big do to be held at the Co-op Live arena, over the road from the Etihad Stadium, the day after that last game of their season at home to Aston Villa.It will follow a parade around the streets of Manchester that will happen regardless of who wins the title, and is set to be a major affair, open to supporters, which will also include celebrations for the WSL title won by the City women’s side. It may be that former men’s team players are in attendance, too.It will also serve as a final farewell for Bernardo Silva and John Stones, whose departures this summer have already been confirmed. City insist that there has been no official decision regarding Guardiola’s future, that they are working to the expectation he stays and until he tells chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak and the hierarchy that he is leaving, anything can happen — but it is possible that party next Monday could be his final bow, too.The “I have a contract” line is the one that he has used repeatedly ever since The Athletic revealed at the turn of the year that City had approached former Guardiola assistant Enzo Maresca in the event of the Catalan leaving.On Saturday afternoon, footage emerged of him being asked about his future by the BBC, an interview filmed within a few minutes of his cheeky press conference escape the previous day. He said yes, and then got annoyed when asked to confirm if he meant next season. “I know the answer, you should know the answer. I am here at the end of the season of the Premier League.”
