Guardiola Denies Leaving Manchester City for England Role And Pledges Commitment
Pep Guardiola has made it clear that he has no intention of leaving Manchester City, despite ongoing speculation about the England managerial position.
With Gareth Southgate stepping down after England’s defeat to Spain in the Euro 2024 final, the Football Association (FA) is actively searching for a new head coach.
The application deadline for the position was August 2, but Guardiola has emphasized his commitment to Manchester City, where he still has a season remaining on his contract.
In a recent statement, Guardiola expressed his contentment with his current role.
He stated, “I am very happy and fully committed to Manchester City. I am not aware of where these rumors are coming from, but I want to make it clear that I am thoroughly satisfied here.
I am eagerly looking forward to when our players return so we can begin training together again and focus on our objectives for the upcoming season.”
Chelsea player Enzo Fernández is in discussions to join Manchester City. This information was revealed by Fabrizio Romano, who shared that the two clubs are discussing a potential deal.
He wrote: “Enzo Fernández has a verbal agreement with Manchester City on personal terms.
“Deal depends on club-to-club decision, as #MCFC have not sent an official bid yet, but contacts will take place soon; decision on price is up to Chelsea.
“Enzo could be out again this weekend.”
Manchester City manager Enzo Maresca mentions his captains for the team. He mentions Rúben Dias and Erling Haaland.
He shared “We have experienced players. For sure, we have leaders. Now we need to wait four or five more days until the transfer window closes to see if we can add one or two more captains to Ruben [Dias] and Erling , who at the moment are the two captains.”
Maresca confirmed the pair as part of his leadership group ahead of the 2026/27 season, with two more captains expected to be selected after the transfer window closes.
Chelsea manager speaks on the team and shares thoughts on considering a change in goalkeepers, giving another goalkeeper, Mike Penders, a chance.
“Penders is part of the squad, so he has an opportunity. We will decide and then I am giving the team tomorrow to the players, so I prefer to respect that they know first.”
