But ahead of Sunday's clash with Liverpool, Guardiola said when asked if he was preparing to step down: : "No, because I still have a year left on my contract here.
Guardiola's current contract with Manchester City doesn't expire until the summer of 2027.
The 55-year-old made it clear that he intends to fulfill this contract: "The answer is the same as the one I gave them two months ago."
At that time, he already assured them he would remain in Manchester until the end of his contract.
