Guardiola's Future, Red Hot, Pedrerol Reveals His Ideas: 'he Doesn't Feel Like...

The journalist reveals that Guardiola is tired of coaching Manchester City and that his dream in the summer was the English national team.

Pep Guardiola's Future at Manchester City Is More in Doubt Than Ever. After being eliminated from the UEFA Champions League by Real Madrid, the Catalan coach is experiencing one of his most challenging moments at the English club.

Josep Pedrerol has been clear when discussing his situation. On El Chiringuito, the journalist stated that "Guardiola in the summer was already thinking about the English national team" and that his renewal with City "was because he had no other option." Additionally, he hinted that the coach "is very tired" and might consider a change of direction.

A Disappointing Season

Manchester City has not only been eliminated from the Champions League, but their situation in the Premier League is concerning. Currently, they are fourth in the standings with 44 points (44 puntos), far behind Liverpool, the undisputed leader with 61 points (61 puntos).

This 17-point (17 puntos) difference leaves City practically without options to reclaim the title. With the elimination in Europe, they are only alive in the FA Cup, so an elimination would leave Guardiola without titles in a season, something unthinkable a few months ago.

Guardiola Responds, but the Debate Continues

Despite the rumors, Guardiola has insisted that his intention is to stay at Manchester City. "I'm happy here," he has stated on several occasions.

However, doubts are beginning to arise from England. The coach's lack of motivation and the team's poor performance have made his continuity questionable.

Andoni Iraola, in City's Orbit

The English press is already starting to talk about possible replacements. Andoni Iraola, current coach of Bournemouth, has been pointed out as an interesting option.

The Spanish coach has surprised in the Premier League with his bold style and his ability to compete with modest teams. His name is starting to gain traction, although for now, everything is hanging in the air.

If City doesn't improve their performance, it is possible that Guardiola may decide to bring forward his departure. The end of his tenure at the club could be closer than expected.
