Pep Guardiola, the mastermind who led Manchester City to win four straight EPL games, announces a break-up

Manchester City defeated West Ham 3-1 in the final round 38 of the 2023-2024 English Premier League held at the Etihad Stadium in Manchester, England on the 20th (Korea time). For the first time, Manchester City has won four consecutive league titles.

It has created a new history. Only Manchester United and Manchester City have lost three consecutive games since the launch of the EPL during the 1992-1993 season. Manchester City has become the most prestigious club in the Premier League by winning four consecutive league titles this year following the treble last season.

This is the achievement of Pep Guardiola, 53, the world's best soccer player. Having joined Manchester City in 2016 after playing for Barcelona and Bayern Munich, Guardiola won his sixth Premier League title.

However, there was stress behind the huge success. After achieving four consecutive wins in the league, Guardiola said, "Actually, the reality is that I am closer to leaving than staying at Manchester City. I want to stay with the club now, but I will talk with the club again sometime next season. I will wait and see (after) eight to nine years (since I came to Manchester City)," signaling that he will leave the club.

Guardiola is on a contract with Manchester City until 2025. "I have a contract period to sign. I had many glory moments. I still like to win. New players have adapted well, too. On the other hand, I am exhausted. I am not sure what will motivate me now because I have achieved everything," he confessed.토토사이트

Rival Liverpool coach Jurgen Klopp's departure from the team is also dampening Guardiola's motivation. Guardiola said, "I pushed myself to my limit because of Liverpool. Now it was Arsenal. I want to congratulate Mikel and Arsenal players for their amazing season."
