Pep Guardiola has made it clear: he's not going anywhere just yet. The Manchester City manager, speaking ahead of Saturday's FA Cup final against Chelsea, insisted he has "one more year" left on his contract, dismissing speculation that this could be his final trip to Wembley.

The 55-year-old Spaniard, who has transformed City into a footballing dynasty since taking the helm a decade ago, is aiming to add yet another trophy to his staggering collection. City face Chelsea in the FA Cup final (kick-off 15:00 BST) looking to secure a domestic double, having already lifted the Carabao Cup with a victory over Arsenal in March.

Rumors have swirled that Guardiola might step down this summer after an era defined by relentless success. But when asked in Friday's pre-match press conference whether Saturday could be his last Wembley appearance, Guardiola's response was emphatic: "No way." With a playful smile, he added that he has "one more year" on his contract before making a swift exit—though he was scheduled to leave anyway after the final question.

For now, the club's preference is clear: they want Guardiola to stay as long as possible. However, sources have told BBC Sport there is tangible uncertainty over whether he will see out the final year of his deal. Should he depart, former Chelsea head coach Enzo Maresca is reportedly among the leading candidates to step into his shoes.

It's easy to see why City are desperate to keep him. Guardiola has amassed 19 trophies during his tenure, including six Premier League titles, the Champions League, and two FA Cups. His side remain in the hunt for a seventh top-flight crown, sitting just two points behind leaders Arsenal with two games remaining.

When asked if his reign defines greatness, Guardiola's response was as confident as ever—he simply flexed his bicep and said, "Yeah." For City fans, that swagger is exactly why they hope the "one more year" becomes many more.
