Man City legend Lee fears Guardiola will soon leave

Manchester City legend Francis Lee fears manager Pep Guardiola won't stay long-term.

Writing for the Daily Mail, Lee declared: "Pep Guardiola is hungry to retain this Premier League title but sadly I can't see him staying at Manchester City for the long term.

"He has agreed a new contract yet, unless he falls head over heels in love with Manchester, I don't think he'll be here for more than three or four years.

"Managing at the top these days takes it out of a coach and the commitment Pep particularly gives to the cause will wear him out.

"It's not like the old days when you'd knock off on May 7 and go to the beach for a few weeks before coming back refreshed. A coach's job today is all-consuming and this guy puts everything into it.

"His team are a one-off."
