Pep Guardiola’s former Bayern Munich colleague Matthias Sammer has suggested that he will leave Manchester City this summer.
However, Guardiola’s future in Manchester is unclear. The 55-year-old is contracted with City until 2027, but Sammer has hinted he will quit the club soon.
“I think I understood him quite well with his facial expressions, his gestures, his eyes, and his way of speaking. My gut feeling tells me something’s wrong when I look at his face.”
Guardiola took over as City manager in 2016 and quickly transformed them into one of the best teams in the world.
They endured a tough campaign last season, finishing third in the English top-flight and failing to lift silverware.
Their trophy drought ended on Sunday when they defeated Arsenal 2-0 in the League Cup final, with Nico O’Reilly scoring both goals.
Despite the success, major doubts remain over Guardiola’s future at the Etihad Stadium.
It appears the immense pressure of managing at the top level for so many years is taking a toll on him.
