Guardiola ‘excited’ by Man City future, not pondering exit

MANCHESTER: Pep Guardiola said Friday that his departure from Manchester City is “not on the table” at the moment as he focuses on trying to wrest back the Premier League title. Guardiola, 54, is contracted at the Etihad until the end of the 2026/27 season but reports this week said City’s hierarchy were eyeing up potential replacements should the former Barcelona and Bayern Munich coach step away at the end of the current campaign. Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca, a former assistant of Guardiola’s, is reportedly among the leading candidates for the City job.
