Guardiola won't be drawn on his future at City
Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola will not be pressured into making a decision on his long-term future at the club.
The 53-year-old's contract expires at the end of the 2024-2025 season and he is, as yet, undecided on what he wants to do when that time comes.
City takes on Wolverhampton Wanderers this weekend, and sits second in the Premier League after going unbeaten through its first seven games. It is just one point behind league leader Liverpool.
"When it's going to happen, it's going to happen," Guardiola told the BBC when asked if any decision on his future from the end of the season onwards had been made.
Guardiola had been heavily linked with the previously vacant England position, before it was announced this week that Thomas Tuchel will take over in January.
But even after that announcement, there have been rumours that Guardiola could follow the lead of director of football and close friend Txiki Begiristain, who has confirmed he will leave the club at the end of the season.
"One of the reasons I extended my contract two times is because Txiki is here," Guardiola said of Begiristain.
"We work together incredibly well. When we win, we try to analyse why. When we lose we try to analyse why. We don’t judge the other one. We both work for the best for this club.
"That’s why it’s a joy to work here with people like Txiki."
Wolves, meanwhile, will be looking to bounce back from a 5-3 defeat at Brentford in its most recent league match before the international break.
That was a result that left the club bottom of the Premier League with just one point after seven matches.
After the match, head coach Gary O'Neil spoke about it being the "worst game I've been involved with as a coach".
"It’s the furthest I’ve seen the group from what we wanted to look like," he said.
"The responsibility is on me. Of course, the players are going to make decisions, but I need to give them something that makes them make better decisions.
"I’ll do the best I can with the group I have. The club do what they can do off the pitch. My responsibility is to find results. This league can be tough. There are no hiding places."
