As Manchester City gear up for another FA Cup final showdown, manager Pep Guardiola has dropped his clearest hint yet about staying put at the Etihad. With just three games left in the season and speculation swirling about his future, the Catalan tactician addressed the rumors head-on ahead of Saturday's clash against Chelsea—a matchup that marks City's 24th trip to Wembley under his leadership.

"No way," Guardiola said with a grin when asked if this weekend could be his Wembley farewell. "I have one more year on my contract." The response cuts through months of whispers linking former Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca as a potential successor, offering a sigh of relief for City fans who've witnessed a golden era under his guidance.

Reflecting on a decade that has redefined English football, Guardiola didn't hold back. "19 titles in ten years—it's not bad," he remarked, adding with characteristic bluntness, "They know I've been fun. I've been f****** fun. So, 19 titles, fight for the 20th in ten years, it's not bad, honestly."

Whether his legacy will be fully appreciated only after he leaves, Guardiola dismissed the notion. "They know all that. They don't need to wait until I leave." For now, all eyes are on Wembley, where City can add another trophy to their collection—and where their manager's future might finally be settled.
